Conselheiro José Leite20 THE BRAZILIAN REGULATORY FRAMEWORK IMPOSES NO RESTRICTION TO MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS IN ANY SERVICE  MOBILE SERVICE OPERATORS ARE FREE TO OFFER ANY TYPE OF MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS  SINCE BRAZIL HAS ALREADY RESERVED 60 MHz IN THE “CORE BAND” OF IMT-2000, MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS VIA UMTS WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE NEAR FUTURE  A NEW FIXED SERVICE FOCUSING ON MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS HAS BROAD SCOPE AND MAY USE SEVERAL BROADBAND TRANSMISSION MEANS LIKE xDSL and PAY TV NETWORKS (WIRE AND WIRELESS) Conclusions

Conselheiro José Leite21  IN VIEW OF THE EXCELLENT COVERAGE OF FREE TV OVER THE AIR IN BRAZIL (AROUND 85%), MULTIMEDIA APPLICATIONS IN THE MASS COMMUNICATION SERVICE MAY INCREASE ENORMOUSLY AFTER INTRODUCTION OF DTV  THERE IS GREAT EXPECTATION IN BRAZIL ON THE CHOICE OF DTV STANDARD. HOWEVER, BEFORE THE STANDARD CHOICE, A PUBLIC CONSULTATION IS RUNNING IN ORDER TO DEFINE A BRAZILIAN MODEL TO BEST EXPLOIT THE DTV CAPABILITIES  INTERNET IS DEVELOPING VERY FAST IN BRAZIL WITH MORE THAN 10.4 MILLIONS USERS, AROUND 900 HOSTS, MORE THAN 400,000 DOMAINS AND 60% OF THE TRAFFIC TO ACCESS LOCAL CONTENTS IN PORTUGUESE.
