Anatel has access to a range of subsidies for roaming services, which determined users can use as competing networks. As operators contributing to your suggestions, TIM defends that these phones are obliged to open roaming in countries and territories.
A TIM was one of the operators who participated in volume of subdivisions n° 25and we defend the need for public policy instruments that ensure the opening of 4G networks for the thirds, and which, as operators, provide access to our customers through the roaming of our three with own coverage.
According to the operator, these actions are “fundamental” to guarantee complete coverage in remote areas, residences and localities with less than 30 million inhabitants.
For TIM, roaming offers an advantage in “rapid implementation and simplicity of operation and governance”, in addition to less implementation service compared to other solutions, such as RAN sharing.
Currently, operators are obliged to open their roaming networks in our municipalities with less than 30 million inhabitants. This does not mean, however, that cellular service is available in certain localities for users of all telephones, because the telephone without coverage is not obliged to contract with a correspondent and offer service in certain localities.
Also by TIM, other entities also offer a roaming provider. At Transatel, that you are like MVNO and services of Internet of Coisasdefend the openness of federal networks of all times as currently implemented and future technologies, such as 2G, 3G, 4G and 5G.
Some of the “challenges” of 4G and 5G are those that are data-focused, and do not include native voice. For this, it is necessary for operators to implement technologies such as VoLTE and VoNR, which works like a kind of VoIP (Internet channels).
TIM defends that Anatel cries out politically to “guarantee the connection and the adequate user experience to the visiting user”. In this way, the operator proposes that the voice service has already gone through VoLTE technology on the 4G red networks and VoNR on the 5G red networks.
TIM's suggestion is, in fact, sensible: if a customer of another operator accesses the 4G network of another operator with the VoLTE technology available, it is impossible to make voice calls, while the Internet is available. Additionally, it is possible to make connections with apps like WhatsApp, traditional phones are awesome for contacting emergency services.
However, it is important to emphasize that all Brazilian TVs have VoLTE or offer service for all customers, especially like virtual operators (MVNO). The major televisions, Vivo and TIM are implemented at the national level for the entire base; Already there are restrictions on 4G channels for customers of their own, requiring that they contract a pre-payment or control plan.
Meanwhile, TIM defends the openness of social networks, with Vivo considering the theme “complex”. Currently, the subdivisions indicate that “there is a fundamental difference between the roaming offer in municipalities and localities and the roaming offer in countries”.
According to Vivo, the significant part of the cable bundles with coverage is that of the antennas which cover the urban areas of the municipalities and the localities located on the margins of the cable. Second, on television it could cause technical problems.
Furthermore, regarding the obligation, Vivo is concerned about the competitive advantages in the antennas installed specifically to host rodovia channels, or which could disincentivize future investments.
“A possible obligation to open roaming in this simply annular trecho for a current competitive advantage (and which justifies the investment),” said the Vivo representative.
