SUMMARY:

Traditional Telecommunications Sectors and over-the-top (OTT) applications have, in recent decades, altered the way social interactions occur, given that economic markets are constantly fluctuating to encompass both scenarios concurrently. In this context, issues related to national regulatory dynamics will be addressed, in light of the challenges posed by the integration and competition between traditional telecommunications services and OTT applications. Thus, it is evident that the problem of the theme revolves around the following question: how can the Brazilian telecommunications regulatory system adapt to balance the interests of traditional telecommunications sectors and OTT applications, ensuring market competitiveness, consumer protection, and promotion of technological innovation? The study of the chosen theme is important due to the relevance of research linked to the rapid technological evolution in the telecommunications sector and the significant impact of OTT services on the existing market structure. The research addresses a critical point in regulation, where the need to adapt existing policies to accommodate new technologies and business models is urgent. Furthermore, the work is justified by the timeliness and importance of these changes in the daily lives of consumers and in the Brazilian digital economy. Among the difficulties pointed out, the objective is to investigate how the Brazilian regulatory system can adjust to deal with the challenges presented by the coexistence and competition between traditional telecommunications sectors and OTT applications, aiming for effective regulation that promotes equity, innovation, and protection for consumers and the market. As methodological procedures applied research with a qualitative approach is used. The deductive method will be used, as it will analyze general aspects to address specific subjects. It has an exploratory objective and a theoretical type. The technical procedure is bibliographic and documentary. In conclusion, on this topic, issues related to regulation become more frequent, considering the alteration of quality and efficiency parameters that digital platforms are providing to telecommunications service users, in the face of market giants that are constantly shaping their practices in the face of the expansion of online means. On the other hand, the interaction between traditional telecommunications sectors and OTT applications can be seen from the Brazilian regulatory perspective, which, despite the existing gaps in domestic legislation, there are studies carried out in other nations on the topic that can be, based on admissibility in Brazilian sovereignty, applied at the national level, to encourage a competitive and fair environment in maintaining the market.
