• Installed Accesses is composed by fixed accesses that have what is necessary to be in service.
• Accesses in Service are installed accesses that are available to the users, including the pay phones

The following table presents the evolution of fixed accesses installed and in service in Brazil. Including incumbents accesses and new fixed telephony authorizations.
