Overview
- Minister Cristiano Zanin gave a 48‑hour deadline on Thursday for Anatel, the AGU and the PGR to file information and he notified the TSE and the Internet Governance Committee.
- The petition was filed by the Green Party and the CNTE asking the Supreme Court to bar operators from blocking general mobile internet in the 72 hours before and 24 hours after each election round.
- Petitioners say Anatel has failed to regulate and enforce against plans that cut general web access after data caps while still allowing access to certain sponsored apps, a practice called zero‑rating.
- Zanin has not yet decided on the requested injunction and asked for technical and budgetary details from agencies before ruling.
- A ruling could force Anatel to change rules, reshape how carriers design post‑quota plans and affect voters’ ability to seek information during critical voting periods.
