In this work, we investigated the territorialities of the cell phone telephone mobile companies that operate in the State of  Pará. These companies are Vivo, Tim, Amazônia Celular and Oi. In pursuing this purpose, we traced a theoretical routs that deals with two categories of analysis: the network and the territory, both marked by two other derived concepts: the territoriality and what we call circuits of power. Our corpus is composed by some information collected in the cell phone telephone mobile companies placed in Pará and the official data from Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL), more specifically, the national list of Radiobase Stations (2007). The methodology that we adopt consists of the collect of secondary data as well as the elaboration of maps, graphs and tables based on the reality of Pará State. These factors are analyzed in order to define the scene of the competition, the circuits of power and the privileged areas. We verified that the cell phone telephone mobile companies use the territory as a market segment, placing the citizen in the same status of a consumer. The companies select its areas of performance based on economic criteria, privileging the areas of higher attractive for the accumulation of the capitals.
