Brazil Chooses 1,800 MHZ Frequency For
PCS Licenses

Dow Jones Newswires

BRASILIA -- In a much-awaited decision, Brazilian telecommunications
regulator Anatel Wednesday said it has chosen the 1,800 megahertz
frequency to award licenses for Personal Communications Services (PCS).

During a press conference to announce the decision, Anatel president
Renato Guerreiro stressed that Anatel "made its decision independently of
external pressures."

Guerreiro was referring to intense lobbying from telecom equipment
manufacturers on behalf of the 1,800 MHz frequency as well as its
alternative, the 1,900 MHz frequency.

Anatel's choice means the introduction to Brazil of Global System for
Mobility (GSM) technology, at the expense of the prevailing Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA) Technology.
