The privatization of Telebras opened the national telephone market to competition,strengthening the importance of employing a management program having quality as a competitive advantage. Quality management as competitive strategy is an innovation in a sector that is no longer characterized by a monopoly market structure without competition. This study aims mainly at presenting the current quality management of a fixed line phone company. In this study, organizational structure for quality, a quality management program used by the studied company, methodologies and tools utilized, indicators of quality performance and improvement actions are presented and analyzed. A case study methodology was used. From the case study it can be concluded that in a telephone company quality management is directed at enhancing its competitive capacity the way it occurs in markets that face tough competition. The quality of fixed line phone service is differentiated depending on the kind of consumers, who are classified according to the amount of service utilized, since it is a private company, and therefore, seeks profit. In general, quality goals demanded by The National Telecommunications Agency have been met by the company, which confirms some foreseen trends after the privatization of the sector, at least in the area the company serves.

With the growing dissemination and reliability of wireless networks and the emergence of devices with more and more processing and communication power, applications up to now restricted to PCs are being envisaged to run on devices as heterogeneous as wrist clocks with GPS locators, refrigerators with internet access, up to mobile phones, PDAs, settop- boxes and game consoles. The integration of this myriad of devices and network technologies, with different capabilities, demand special attention from the software programmers and designers specially when these applications are shared among multiple users from different devices, each one producing and consuming information according to each device capacity. In this sense, application adaptation, which allows a software to react upon the resources variations used, is an important process towards fitting the application to a certain device configuration. This adaptation is being considered as an important part of the systems that act upon heterogeneous processing and communication environment. Therefore, a large amount of work has been done in the traditional multimedia adaptation, such as text, images, audio and video, less attention has been focused on 3D digital content first because of the complexity involved in the 3D applications adaptation issues, and also because true marketing opportunities for 3D graphics in heterogeneous devices have just began to emerge. Moreover, initiatives that promote adaptation standardization must be considered, so that interoperability among adaptation mechanisms can become a reality. This work investigated the MPEG-4 standard and its extension MPEG-J to handle adaptation issues, and proposes an adaptation framework for 3D multi-user game applications, entitle MMGAME. With this framework, elements composing a game application can be adapted according to devices resources variations where the application is running as well as in the network where is connected.
