The determination consists in the design of the new regulation and collection service , which should be evaluated by the board of the regulator in November , and after a period of adaptation to firms , to enter into force in early 2014.

Therefore , the president of Anatel estimates that the new regulation should be approved until November 15 . But as it is being studied for a period that telecom companies are best suited to changes (which may be 90 ) , the possibility of cancellation without going through an attendant in the channels of communication with the customer companies should begin to assert only February. The FCC points out, however , that this period may vary.
