But corporatism responded , and according to the union bosses SindiTelebrasil ( National Union of Telephone Companies and Service Mobile and Personal ) one must consider the average of all plans (but do not tell that many plans are not encouraged ) and in this case the values would be at $ 0.15, with tax ( U.S. $ 0.068) .
