Title: Telecommunication Industry in Brazil: Public-Private Relationship and Technology Development
Abstract: Brazil is among the few developing countries with a domestic production of digital
	 telecom equipment. This achievement is a combined result of public-private
	 co-operation through which effective access to new technologies and a climate that
	 fosters their diffusion were established. Reasonable levels of cognitive and
	 network externalities were also attained. This particular co-operative arrangement
	 has presently reached its limit. The possibilities for Brazil to take full
	 advantage of the benefits of the new technologies in telecommunication depend on
	 institutional changes that can bring about sustainable levels of investment.
