Resumo: The objective of this text is to analyse the universal service of telefony in the tradicional telecommunications model and the new challanges branght about in a competitive enviromment. Based on the normative and economic dimensions, it brings back the discussion of this fundamental princeple: the right for all the people to enjoy the telecommunication services, producing a connterpoint to the course of radical changes in this sector. It discusses also the need of updating the restricted and static notion of universal service, limited to the service of fixed voice telephony, to a wider and dynamic notion, adjusted to the new substructure of telecommunications and to the Information society. Accordingly, it reasserts the importance of the role of state regulation and public policy to reach the goals of economies and social coesion. It also examines the universal servise notion in the new Telecommunications General Lawof Brazil. Finally, it shows the picture of negligence of the telephony universalization in Brazil, specially for the less favored users and for the rural and remote areas, between 1980 and 1995.
