BRAZIL

On December 24, the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel in Portuguese) announced the opening of a public consultation which addresses the scope of the cybersecurity regulation applied to the telecommunications industry. You may access the resolution by clicking here. Contributions should be made through Anatel’s Public Consultation Monitoring System, before february 4, 2022. 

The proposal extends the impact of the resolution to small telecommunications providers (PPP in Portuguese) owning submarine cables with international destinations and to mobile telephony providers owning their own network. Anatel also proposes to extend the obligations to PPPs holding support networks for transporting interstate traffic in the wholesale market.

In addition, manufacturers of telecommunications products for the deployment of these critical infrastructures are subject to the principles, guidelines and obligation to develop and implement a Cybersecurity Policy, as set forth in the Regulation on Cybersecurity Applied to the Telecommunications Sector.
