DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/5a9ada/brazil_fixedlin) has announced the addition of the "Brazil - Fixed-Line Operators" report to their offering.

About 52% of Brazils fixed lines in service are controlled by locally owned Oi, the dominant operator in Region I (north and east Brazil including Rio de Janeiro and Minas Gerais) and Region II (south, southwest, and central Brazil including the Federal District). Telefnicas Telesp is the dominant operator in Region III (the state of Sao Paulo), and controls about 27% of Brazil's total lines in service. The remaining 21% of Brazil's fixed lines in service belong to Embratel, Net Servios de Comunicao, GVT, and a few small, private operators. GVT was acquired by France's Vivendi in November 2009, in a move that took the markets by surprise.
