RESUMO

This dissertation sustains that, in broad lines, telecommunications have gone through three large historical phases since its beginning, little more than 200 years ago. After a pre-history where technologies were developed with governmental support or control, telecommunication services were commercially exploited in a competitive manner, virtually without state regulation. Following this phase, there was a period featured by monopolization trend with state-owning (the case of Europe and most countries in the world) and private monopolization under growing state regulation like in the USA. This period lasted the second half of the Nineteenth century until the last quarter from the Twentieth century when there was a general trend towards privatization and liberalization. This dissertation investigates the critical moments from this process in the countries which led it (United States and the UK) and the applicability of this periodization to Argentina and Brazil. It does a comparative analysis of the evolution from telecommunications in both Latin American countries in relation to the international trajectory. It scrutinizes how main economic theory streams analyzed the role of telecommunications in national and international economies and uses the conceptual framework from such theories, particularly the economic regulation and financial globalization theories to understand the evolution of telecommunications over the period studied and the specificities from Argentinas and Brazils systems.
