Anatel has decided to temporarily suspend the mandatory certification of data centers, effective from its meeting on February 12. This suspension follows pressures from industry stakeholders and legal disputes.

The decision specifically halts the enforcement of Article 6 of Resolution 780/25 until the Council conducts a reexamination. The suspension is intended to promote dialogue on the new Redata tax regime and national policies concerning data centers.

The Brazilian Data Center Association claims the rule creates legal uncertainty and points out that most Brazilian data centers are classified as Tier 3. Anatel, however, asserts that regulation is essential for critical telecommunications services.
