Questão 536129

This text refers to items from 16 through 25.

1 Japan and Korea are outstanding markets in terms

of the world’s advances in cellular telephony, where

multimedia applications have surged into feverish

4 popularity. Users in these countries have demanded

velocity and high quality data transmission — such as

images, videos and sounds — as the principal distinctive

7 features for the cellular telephone. Although the industry in

Brazil is not yet experiencing the same phase as in the

Asian countries, innovative third generation services,

10 aligned with world-class technology, are already present,

with data transmission speeds of up to 2.4 Mbps.

In fact, in some cases, Brazil has held multimedia

13 application launches simultaneously with the United States,

tremendously increasing the economic and digital inclusion

that cellular telephony has fomented in recent years. The

16 heavy impact of mobile communication on Brazilian

society can be measured by the expansion of the customer

base, which has been growing at historic rates of 30% a

19 year and now serves over 50 million customers. In other

words, four out of every ten Brazilians have a cellular

telephone.

22 The importance of mobile telephony has already

surpassed that of the traditional fixed telephone system,

because the cell phone actually fulfills the function of

25 taking communication to all levels of the population. Its

widespread network has opened gateways to regions that

formerly had not been benefited by the implementation of

28 a fixed telephone system, such as, for example, many rural

areas that are now mobile telephone customers.

The responsibility that cellular telephony carries

31 as an instrument for transforming people’s lives tends to

increase enormously in the short term. In Brazil, third

generation CDMA 3G EVDO service is already offered and

34 is able to provide handheld resources, similar to CD, DVD

and TV, anywhere and at any time, based on Qualcomm's

cutting edge CDMA technology.
