Yongzhi, Thanks, I knew I saw or heard PLFM say that ## at some point. At least I'm not losing my mind, and if I am, there are at least two of us doing so. I'm still looking for Telesp web site, but don't wait on me to post your fantastic, informative and well written master piece. (ran out of praises, sorry) Better get back to it !!!!! Rocky

Yongzhi: This is a news from Telebras: Tuesday May 5, 9:03 am Eastern Time Brazil may change Telebras sale model-paper SAO PAULO, May 5 (Reuters) - Brazil is studying the pros and cons of holding a series of auctions rather than a single mega-tender to sell federal telecommunications holding Telebras (TEL_p.SA), a local newspaper said Tuesday. Gazeta Mercantil quoted new National Development Bank (BNDES) chief Andre Lara Resende as saying that Latin America's largest telecom ''does not necessarily have to be sold in a single block.'' Brazil plans to break Telebras into a long distance company, three regional wireline holdings and eight cellular firms. The government is tentatively scheduled to take bids on all 12 spin offs on July 15. But Lara Resende told reporters in Rio de Janeiro on Monday that Brasilia is now considering selling the firms in a series of auctions to be held ''over time'' because a single mega-auction day could ''depreciate the value of the assets,'' according to Gazeta. He said ''market conditions'' will ultimately determine what privatization model is used, the paper said. Communications Minister Luiz Carlos Mendonca de Barros has said the government was unlikely to sell Telebras via the same model used to sell licenses to operate on the B Band cellular frequency concessions. In the B Band selloff, the government in April 1997 took all bids on 10 licenses on one day, then opened the proposals separately over the subsequent months. One concession license, that covering the vast Amazon region, remains to be sold after twice failing to draw bids. While the government is intent on sticking to its relatively tight selloff schedule for Telebras, the privatization could face some minor delays, Lara Resende was quoted as saying. Even so, ''a delay will in no way hurt the sale process,'' he said.
