The Race For Satellite Internet In Brazil Is About To Enter A New Chapter, And The Main Star Of This Dispute May Be In Trouble.

On Monday, October 14, Minister Juscelino Filho embarked on a trip to China for strategic meetings with companies aiming to challenge the supremacy of Starlink in providing internet to remote areas, including the Amazon.

Among the destinations of the visit are SpaceSail, located in Shanghai, and GalaxySpace, based in Beijing.

Both companies are in the planning phase to enter the Brazilian market in the coming years, increasing competition in a sector that the government considers crucial for the country’s development.

Healthy Competition

“It is important to have a [satellite internet] market with various companies,” said Juscelino Filho in an interview with Coluna do Estadão.

According to the minister, the entry of new players into the sector would not only increase competition but also provide better services and lower costs for consumers.

Starlink currently stands out as a leader in providing internet in isolated locations.

Last month, Juscelino Filho had already met with Daniel Mazini, president of Amazon Brazil, who also plans to operate in this sector.

Tense Relationship Between The Government And Musk

However, the relationship between Elon Musk and the government Lula has proven to be tense. President Lula, at a UN event, criticized the billionaire’s stance, asking:

“Suddenly you have a citizen who has become the richest in the world daring to challenge the constitutions of countries that do not agree with him. Where are we going to stop? Where will democracy sustain itself?”

This statement from Lula seems to reflect a growing discontent with the way Musk has conducted his business outside the United States, especially in relation to X (formerly Twitter), which was banned in Brazil for 38 days after failing to comply with court orders.

The platform only resumed operations after changing its approach to the Brazilian Judiciary.

The Future Of The Internet In Brazil

With the possibility of new competitors entering the market, the landscape of satellite internet in Brazil could undergo a significant transformation.

The Lula government appears determined to diversify the market, making it more competitive and accessible to the population.

In light of these developments, the question arises: could the presence of new companies in the satellite internet arena truly alter Starlink’s dominance and offer better options for Brazilians?

Tense Relationship Between The Government And Musk

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

With 30 meters in length, a house in England appears to float in the air and surprises engineers and architects around the world due to its visual effect and construction method suspended over sloped terrain.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Called El Inmortal, the building that survived earthquakes in Ecuador seems to balance, defies the laws of physics, and impresses with its bold construction structure.

(VIDEO) Cameras from an astronomical observatory captured two meteors falling over Santa Maria in Rio Grande do Sul with only a one-minute difference and such close trajectories that scientists are now investigating whether the two objects have the same origin.

Rare earths are in everything, from cell phones to bullet trains, and what almost no one realizes is why they have become the target of such a delicate global war.

Switzerland invested over $2.3 billion and bet on water, altitude, and solid rock to create a battery in the Alps capable of powering more than 1 million homes.

Brazil has quietly developed an electric tactical drone that takes off and lands vertically without needing a runway, flies at 140 km/h in a fully autonomous manner, and can operate in forests, conflict zones, and remote areas.

100 kW megalasers are already pointing to a new industrial phase, with enough power to cut thick steel, drill through rocks, accelerate mining, and increase productivity in operations previously considered too difficult.
