SÃO PAULO - With the deployment of the last phase of number portability, competition between operators of fixed telephony, which was already fierce, may be higher. As a result of the competition, prices may end up falling to the consumer.

The finding is of Trends Consulting. According to the company, the permanence of the line is a factor to keep consumers loyal to the company. With a choice by the user, the trend is that more companies fought not to lose the customer.

Thus, the possibility of prices being lower this year is great.

Results not good
Another factor that could push prices down, the result is that the major telephone companies had fixed last year.

According to consulting, there was drop in the number of fixed terminals in service for 2007. Given the quarterly data of Telesp, Hi and BrT the year 2008 ended with 33.7 million lines, a reduction of 1.4%.

The loss of market of these companies is, above all, the continuity of the fixed-mobile migration and the tightness of the competition due to entry of new operators in the fixed service.
