In the 70’s and 80’s, the development took place in the field of electronic switching - besides the introduction of microprocessors in terminals - leading to the diversification of the services into the transmission of data, voice and image. [...] With the increase in demand, the pressure of the large users for the reduction of the tariffs for the long-distance and other sophisticated services also increased. [...] Case Until the break-up of AT&T in 1984, three major phases occurred in the organizational and institutional development of the telecommunications system in the USA: a) the formation and constitution of a private monopoly (1878-1974); b) the consolidation of the private monopoly (1934-1956); c) the challenge to the private monopoly (1956-1984). [...] First the Consent Decree, the AT&T monopoly suffered two further setbacks: first at the end of the ‘60s, with the development of telecommunication regulation; and second, in 1974, with the restrictions that the country’s Anti-trust Law placed upon the company. [...] The document which established the terms of ENTel’s privatization outlined the main elements of the regulation process, namely the rules governing the readjustment of prices in the two years following privatization and the decision that the Communications Department of the Public Works Ministry would be responsible for preparing a decree creating a regulatory body.
