BRASILIA - The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) will create an application for smartphones that consumers can compare the operators' service offerings and find the most suitable to their profile. An order of the National Consumer Bureau published in the Official Gazette on Thursday included the project in the list of those funded Diffuse Rights Defense Fund, which collects fines from businesses when you can not find the impaired user.
According to Anatel, the application will cost around R $ 350 thousand to be developed and should be ready early next year. For him, the consumer may include what they want to acquire cell pack, internet, TV and telephone and the "Consumer Comparator Telecommunications Aware" will present the best offer available in your region, among companies with more than 50,000 users.
According to João Batista Rezende, president of Anatel, the application is in line with the initiative of the Agency to strengthen the consumer's position in relation to large companies, by making available to them the necessary information to compare or change plans.
- Our strategy to stimulate competition in the sector is to give more information to the user - Rezende told O Globo.
The comparison was possible after that, in recent months, the FCC has required that carriers inform on their websites a file with all available package deals. What the agency will do is cross the information between different companies and filter them to the area where the user accesses the application.
According to Carlos Manuel Baigorri, competition Superintendent of Anatel, the application can offer, in addition to prices, information on the quality of handling systems and indicators of companies in the consumer protection agencies, so that the user can compare not only prices but other factors that might interfere with their buying decision.
