2016-01-13 09:05:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Brazil ended November 2015 with 269.59 million active mobile telephony lines and a penetration rate of 131.5 percent, according to figures published by the National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel). This represents a 1.53 percent drop on October and 3.87 percent less than in November 2014. This was the sixth consecutive month of fewer mobile users in Brazil, as many operators have tightened their credit policies and disconnected inactive or non-paying users. Of the total subscribers, 196.61 million were prepaid (72.93%) and 72.98 million postpaid (27.07%). Vivo (Telefonica Brasil) maintained the market lead with 79.49 million customers or 29.49 percent of the total (compared to 29% in October). TIM Brasil was second with 69.3 million and 25.7 percent share (26.26%). Claro (America Movil group) was third with 67.37 million and 24.99 percent share (25.2%). Oi followed in fourth place with 49.2 million lines and 18.25 percent share.
