The National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) has postponed again the decision on charging the extra point of cable TV services. The subject was one on the staff of today's meeting of the Board of the agency.

The decision was delayed because the counsel Bedran Antonio, which had a view of the application process last week, called for a new term - up to 30 days - to return the matter to the analysis of the Board. For other reasons, mainly for lack of consensus has already been postponed four times the other vote to determine if the operators have the right to charge the extra point.

Since mid last year, Anatel has been discussing the matter, but not yet defined if the Cable TV companies have the right to charge to the charge.

The controversy began in June 2008, when Anatel regulates the rights of users of cable TV. The regulation prohibited the collection of the extra point, but were allowed charges for installation and maintenance services. At the time, consumer protection bodies criticized the regulation, saying that opened holes for the carriers to transform into a maintenance rate monthly charge.

The matter ended up in court, which determined that Anatel clarify what can be charged. With the new postponement of the decision, the rule remains valid before the regulation, which frees the carriers to charge the extra point, Anatel to clarify the matter.
