Community radios have existed in Brazil since the 1980s, long before
they became regulated in 1998. More recently they have been a staple on the
pages and space of the great media. We are reminded by their alleged
interference on our chaotic air traffic or when the Federal Police and Anatel
(National Telecom Agency) execute their constant orders to apprehend broadcast
equipment and put unauthorized radio operators in jail.

Do You Want Your Own Radio in Brazil? Get Yourself a Godfather First written by João da Silva,
June 30, 2007
A very nice and thought provoking article.
When we discuss the digitalization of radio and the increasingly clear need for modifications in the current regulatory mark for mass electronic communications, the results of this study, besides confirming the political practice of a "electronic colonelism of a new kind", point to the emergence of a gloomy scenario with perverse consequences for the consolidation of Brazilian democracy.
If the current regulations are not modified,we the Brazilians will find our own way. ANATEL is obviously not keeping track of the evolving technologies in this field.These agencies like ANATEL,ANEEL,ANAC, etc; are the tools in the hands of the politicians.I am sick and tired of saying it.
