BellSouth's subsidiary in Brazil, the mobile phone carrier BCP, which primarily provides service in the city of São Paulo, missed a $375 million debt payment yesterday, people close to the company said. BellSouth and its Brazilian partner, the Safra Group, have been unable to reach a definitive solution for BCP's debt situation with its creditors, a group of large banks. I would imagine that this would put BCP's potential conversion to CDMA (or GSM) on hold. OTOH...it is nice to see that at least one CDMA operator is stomping the competition. Telesp seems to be doing reasonably well in the same areas that BCP operates in. Do you know anything about how Vesper is doing? Supposedly Anatel was going to decide if the limited mobility that Vesper is offering is legal....but I havent heard much since then. Slacker
