The aim of this article is to answer the question: what were the proposals and changes in the regulatory mechanisms of the Brazilian postal market and the organizational structure of the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Company (ECT) from 1994 up to 2011? From 1994 up to 2002, the federal government's proposal, submitted in 1999 by the "New Postal Law", provided for the creation of the National System of Post, liberalizing the postal market, creating a regulator body and turning ECT in a mixed economy company. Despite the disapproval of the bill, some of its proposals were taken, from 2008, by diagnoses and proposals of Lula's government to restructure the Brazilian postal sector. The proposals supported the approval of Law 12.490 from 2011, which internationalized ECT, expanding the company's market segments and restructuring the company based on the model of corporations.
