Telebrás was the Brazilian state-owned monopoly telephone system. It was broken up in July 1998 into twelve separate companies, nicknamed the 'Baby Bras' companies, that were auctioned to private bidders. The new companies were the long distance operator Embratel, three fixed line regional telephony companies and eight cellular companies.

The privatization process started within the democratic elected Fernando Collor de Mello government. The so called Plano Collor was elaborated by his financial minister, Zélia Cardoso de Mello, first woman ever to take over this role.

Accoring to IMF´s director Anoop Singh, the continuity of this neoliberal program by the following presidents Fernando Henrique Cardoso and Lula da Silva can be exemplified, among other features, by the Embraer, Vale do Rio Doce and Acesita privatization. The implementation of this process initiated one of the world´s biggest privatization program generating public debt relief and highly eficcient multinational companies.

According to Instituto Teotônio Vilela, the greatest beneficiary of this privatization program was Lula da Silva by the unprecedent tax income generation: R$ 118 bilhões (US$ 90 billion), during 2003-2006. In 1998 the telephone net yielded R$ 8 bilhões (US$ 4 billion) tax income annualy; this sum is now at R$ 35 bilhões (US$ 17 billion) anually, a 337% increase. Telebras privatization occasioned huge expansion of the country´s telephone net, opened it to cell phone companies and the Internet implementation .
