Hi Scott, I believe the exception to this is where the OCD has a laboratory outside of Brazil.

I had heard about this from other sources, but do not know much about the background to ANATEL's decision. Do you know what prompted ANATEL to do this, or have any other insights you would be willing to share? I understand ANATEL is holding a public meeting on 30 July, where this issue is on the agenda - Do you think there is any chance of getting them to relax the new requirements?
