Last week, the President of Brazil Dilma Rousseff signed the new Antenna Law (Law 13,116/2015) which establishes new general rules for the deployment and sharing of telecom infrastructure and amends the previous laws of 1997, 2001 and 2009.
November 2013, TowerXchange interviewed Guilherme Ieno, respected telecom expert and Partner at the Brazilian law firm Koury Lopes Advogados. Back then, when commenting on the Antenna Law, Guilherme was hopeful that it would be approved ahead of the 2014 World Cup, especially in light of the much needed infrastructure investments to support growing data traffic during the sport event.
