This paper contributes to the understanding of factors that may affect the effectiveness of administrative reforms based on the end of the state monopoly in the provision of public services. The focus is on the scope of measures to encourage the entry of new entrepreneurs. The study compares the sectors of electricity (power generation segment), telecommunications (public services) and oil (production and refining segments), precursors of regulatory reforms in Brazil. This is a descriptive research, which includes bibliographical and documentary research and content analysis of the guidelines, normative acts and main measures aimed at stimulating the entry of new entrepreneurs Analyzes were guided by the premise that such reforms were motivated by the failure of State investment. The results demonstrate that the increase in the supply of products and services is directly associated with the legal certainty offered for private investment. This legal certainty is greater when there is the privatization of state-owned enterprises - SOE and concession contracts with the new providers.
