PROFILE |
 |
Telecomunicações do Rio de Janeiro, known as Telemar Rio, is the largest of 16 regional fixed-line operators controlled by holding company Tele Norte Leste (Telemar), which was created from the breakup of Telebrás, Brazil's former telecommunications monopoly. Telemar Rio, formerly known as Telerj, offers local, intraregional long-distance, and data transmission services over 3.5 million lines in the state of Rio de Janeiro. Though the company is dominant in its region, concerns have been raised about the quality of its service. Telemar Rio is adjusting to competition now that state telecom regulatory agency Anatel has issued additional operator licenses.
