Original review summary

The review says Starlink does not control all satellites in Brazil: Anatel data cited in the article counted 52 satellites in commercial operation, of which only one was operated by SpaceX. It also reports that telecom operators primarily use their own infrastructure, while sometimes relying on satellite services from different third-party providers in remote areas.[S1]

Additional context

The review reports that, as of July 2024, Starlink had 224,000 internet accesses in Brazil, representing 0.98% of fixed broadband connections; its share was much larger within the satellite-internet segment. [S1]
