Project approved in Senate committee requires operators to disclose information on their websites
 
RIO - The Commission for the Environment, Consumer Protection and Surveillance and Control (CMA) of the Senate on Tuesday approved a bill requiring mobile operators to disclose on their websites information on the use of credits from plans pre- paid in addition to the conditions of prices and services offered.

According to the author of the bill, Senator Lidice da Mata (PSB-BA), the goal is to keep users of prepaid cell informed about the services purchased. The parliament, according to information the Agency Senate, says that mobile telephony in Brazil is a service offered by a few companies for more than 80% of the population, including people with disabilities to access and understand the information.

Lidice da Mata argues that, "because of the diversity of plans and deals available in the market, the information disclosed by companies are not always clear and subscribers of prepaid plans are difficult to track your spending."

First on the list of complaints
The project enhances the General Telecommunications Law (Law 9.472/1997) and, according to the rapporteur's proposal, Senator Vanessa Grazziotin (PCdoB-AM), is necessary because the prepaid mode is the first in the lists of complaints made consumer protection agencies.

The rapporteur considers that telephone operators already rely on computerized systems to manage the use of credits for prepaid plans, making the publication of data on the internet not repressente large volume of spending, "even if we consider the security apparatus essential to ensuring the privacy of each user, "he said.
After approval in the committee, the project may proceed to the House of Representatives if not appealed by the full Senate.
