Technological phenomena, derivatives of the economy of sharing and disruptive innovations, transform
the aspects of social life. The civil service needed adjustment in this information age, due to its traditional
conceptual and regulatory framework is confronted with the new business promoters based on technology and
information, such as Uber, WhatsApp, and Netflix. In this sense, it is investigated whether it is possible to sustain
the current outlines of civil service theory and current regulatory modeling, in the face of technological innovations
and disruptive phenomena. For this, through the literature review, it is necessary to distinguish, based on
essentiality and indispensability, universal services of the general interest. Based on this distinction, there is a
variety of legal regimes for the due legal treatment of the interactions between disruption and the civil service, due
to the impossibility of a single model, providing regulatory calibration, in view of the legally balanced coexistence
of old and new models and economic agents.
