%X this paper explores the problems of an unstable regulatory regime in network industries and addresses the tension between the necessary flexibility in the long-term regulatory commitment and the need for institutional stability. a draft statute that substantively changes the initial terms under which fixed telecommunications services have been transferred to private companies - currently under discussion in the brazilian congress - is presented as an example of that tension. some alternative proposals to tackle with universal service challenges - the underlying problem behind the mentioned draft statute - are presented in the end.
