Intelig Telecomunicações Ltda., commonly known as Intelig Telecom, was a Brazilian telecommunications company, that offered fixed-line telephony services.
It started operations on 23 January 2000, bringing for the first time concurrence on the long distance and international phone service. Local operations started in September 2003 and 2 years later, they launched a free dial-up Internet service, the InteligWeb. With an investment of R$2,8 billions, it started to build its infrastructure in 1999, even before entering operations. They have more than 16 thousand kilometers of fiber-optics in their network. Their headquarters are in Rio de Janeiro.
In 2009, it was bought by Italian-Brazilian operator TIM Brasil, joining the two codes: 23:41, with the impetus to compete primarily with national Oi, using the codes 31 and 14 (former Brasil Telecom), beyond Embratel/Claro, Vivo/Telefónica, GVT, and Nextel, both also multinationals.
