On May 22, 1998, the Brazilian government organized some regional mobile communications companies in the two companies Tele Mobil Sul Participações SA and Tele Mobil Participações Nordeste SA .
On July 29, 1998, a consortium of UGB Participações Ltda and Bitel Participações SA took control of the companies from the government. Tele Mobil Sul went public on September 21, 1998 on the Bovespa and on November 16, 1998 on the New York Stock Exchange .
