A couple of bothersome issues today...not the least of which is TBR is down and the Bovespa is up almost 1/2%.

This statement suggests a problem I hadn't considered. Sounds like they're suggesting the premiums on the TBR wireless spinoffs may be affected by the lowball rates offered by the new competitor. This should only affect one of the TBR wireless companies?

>>Traders said Telebras was weighed down by concerns regarding low phone rates being offered by competing cellular phone operators on Brazil's newly privatized B Band frequency.''The buyers offered so small tariffs that nobody knows what can happen with state owned firms'', he added.<<

The bit that you posted regarding TBR being closed on APR 30 initially bothers me also. Would seem they can't do this until they have US SEC clearance...will have to watch this carefully.
