EC 8/1995 ended the constitutional state monopoly on telecommunications, the General Telecommunications Law (Lei 9472/1997) created the regulator Anatel and rules for licensed private operators, and in July 1998 Telebras was broken up and auctioned in 12 holdings for approximately R$22 billion. The reform was a flagship Cardoso-era privatisation that ended the federal telecom monopoly and laid the institutional foundations for sector competition under Anatel.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
