Vivo, also known as Telefonica Brasil, is a publicly owned company headquartered in Brazil. It is part of the Telefonica Group, a Spanish multinational telecommunications conglomerate. Founded in 1998, the company employs approximately 33,090 individuals and reported $10.5B in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as one of Brazil's telecommunications providers, Vivo specializes in offering a wide range of services including mobile and fixed-line telephony, broadband internet, and television services.
Brazil's telecoms regulator Anatel extended Vivo's license to test phones communicating with satellites until April 22, 2029, utilizing Vivo's own frequencies. Previously, on September 14, 2026, Telefônica Brasil's board approved the distribution of R$500 million in interest on capital, based on the August 31, 2026 balance sheet. This sum, net of a 17.5% withholding tax, will contribute to the mandatory dividends for the 2026 fiscal year. Earlier, on September 6, 2026, a dark web intelligence report alleged a Vivo data breach that exposed 60.5 million Brazilian records, prompting renewed scrutiny of the nation's telecommunications security. This followed Vivo's September 1, 2026 move to put a portfolio of 47 properties in São Paulo up for sale, with Cushman & Wakefield advising on the operation. The assets, valued at approximately R$600 million, comprise old telephone exchanges that lost operational relevance due to evolving telecommunications infrastructure and the shift from copper to optical fiber networks.
