Brazil to open B-band cell bids for Rio on Tuesday Reuters, Wednesday, March 25, 1998 at 20:52 BRASILIA, March 25 (Reuters) - The Brazilian government plans next Tuesday to open bids for a concession to operate B-band cellular services in Rio de Janeiro and Espirito Santo states, officials said. A spokesman for the Communications Ministry said envelopes containing the proposals for the so-called area No.3 concession should be opened Tuesday morning. "Tomorrow we will be publishing a notice saying that the area three bids will be opened on Tuesday," said Francisco Mendonca, the chief spokesman for the ministry. He also said that the government expects to sign a contract with the Tess group for a concession license to provide B-band services in non-metropolitan Sao Paulo state by Monday. "It could happen tomorrow or Friday or on Monday," Mendonca said. Tess, which includes Sweden's Telia, won its appeal Wednesday seeking to overturn its disqualification in bidding for the so-called B-band area No.2 license. The decision by a Brazilian high court cleared the way for the government to proceed with its long-delayed B-band privatization process. The B-band sell-off is part of Brazil's effort to privatize its massive telecommunications sector. james.craig@reuters.com)) Copyright 1998, Reuters News Service
