The president of Anatel (National Telecommunications Agency), Ronaldo Sardenberg, said Wednesday that the agency will curb any excessive charging of the extra point for businesses pay TV. He noted, however, that there is an injunction suspending the prohibition of the payment and that the agency can only act when the court ruling.

"Obviously, if there is abuse, there will be a violation of economic order that will generate a result. You have to wait to go through the Justice and then get into that type of event," he said.

In April, after more than 10 months of discussion, the FCC prohibited the collection point for extra-TV, allowing companies to charge only for installation and equipment maintenance. At the time, The Exorcist even said that with the publication of the decision, the injunction would fall automatically.

The companies, however, continued charging for the service, saying that the injunction is still in force. In an interview with Folha on Thursday, the president of ABTA (Association of Brazilian Companies Pay TV) said that the judge should rule in a week, but that even if the preliminary fall, the association will move further action.
