 +The right to interconnection for non profit  operators doesn’t exists yet in the regulatory framework.  The resolution 590/2012 (EILD) only allows commercial operators to make interconnections with asymmetry rules between them.  Its important to create new rules for non profit operators with asymmetry too.

 ===== Gender ===== ===== Gender =====
  
-===== Universal Service =====+===== Universal Funds ===== 
 + 
 +In the history of the telecom funds (mainly the FUST) in Brazil, always it benefits the great operators or the federal government. In 2019, the modification of the laws to make a more profitable scenario of the great telcos happened again and about 108 billions of reais in infrastructure was donated for the 3 big telcos in the country (OI, Telefonica, Claro/Net/Embratel group). 
 +In parallel the TACs (conduct adjustment term) is discussed in Anatel for years about the debits of the telcos with the Brazilian State.  
 +Those two resources (FUST and TACs) sum more then 25 billions. 
 +The PERT like said above, is a plan to make agreements of Exchange with those big telcos to apply these resources to universalization  of the internet, but, the discussion about the rules are open yet and the disputes are in the table too. 
 +In the PERT, for civil society, it is important the application of part of the resources in the essential public networks, even after the loss of the public infrastructure with the law changes.  In this issue the civil society is guiding the debate about the investments in access public policies like community networks and public infrastructure of broadband, mainly in backhaul and backbone. 
 +About the TACs, the civil society are debating that part of those resources could be applied in Community networks and other kind of public and community policies to expand the internet access, mainly in rural and undeserved areas.

 +===== Homologation =====
 +
 +In 2019, the agency make modification in the resolution for equipment homologation, but, it is soon to make an affirmative if this modification will facilitate the Community networks yet, cause the new framework  needs more specifications about ARM and what kind of equipment could use the new rules.
