          Abstract

          The purpose of the present study was to analyze the capacity of technological innovation from domestic and foreign firms in the telecommunications sector. To estimate the capacity for technological innovation, the index of capacity for innovation was created, based on micro data of “Pesquisa de Inovação Tecnológica”. The data showed no distinction between innovation intensity in either domestic or foreign firms, which presented average indexes of 0.4265 and 0.4196, respectively. In this context, it is concluded that the activity of innovation generation in Brazil (considering domestic and foreign companies), as measured by R & D activities internally developed in the company, there was not for adaptation of externally generated innovations, which is worrying, because currently are necessary expenses in significant R & D only to imitate.
