The National Telecommunications Agency (AnATEL) requested an assessment of the geopolitical dangers to demonstrate Starlink’s extension analysis, Elon Musk.
According to anatel, the satellite sector is strategic around the world, in many respects, and therefore there is a need for “strong instructions” so that the Foundation’s Board of Directors can determine whether it will approve or not.
“The effective use of spectrum and orbit resources, guaranteeing data security, as well as compliance, with national standards that govern satellite exploration, points have been verified in analyzing this type of material,” he said.
When asked about CNN if this geopolitical risk assessment is common in Anatel’s analyzes, the company answered that it was possible to submit the application to any low satellite system, but this stars were the first large accredited system in Brazil and that it was the first to ask for expansion, “Why is necessary to obtain enough information to obtain a complete analysis of the situation.”
Starlink from Elon Musk runs a network of satellite whose goal is to bring the Internet to distant points that cannot usually reach the web. He is in the first place in the Brazilian satellite communication market.
There are currently 224.5 thousand clients in Starlink in national territory and about a third of them in the north of the country. Elon Musk aims to expand the satellite base approved to work in Brazil in at least 7500 devices and is waiting for Anatel deliberations.
Since last year, Starlink was among the obstacles to the judicial battle between the Supreme Federal Court (STF), Alexander de Mora, and businessman Elon Musk.
In August, Morris had a social network, as well as the businessman, after the company failed to comply with the Brazilian laws and not to appoint a legal representative in the country.
The social network is suspended through Internet operators. Starlink, one of them, said that he will not comply with STF decision.
The federal government even said it could file a lawsuit to suspend the Starlink permit in Brazil in the event of incompatibility. Later, the company retreated and X was banned until it was released again in October.
