What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Strong state backing and a re-accelerating launch cadence exist, but deployment is far behind plan, satellites have failed in orbit, and no commercial service is yet live — too immature and opaque to depend on.
Next
Re-evaluate once the first phase is materially deployed and a partner (e.g. Telebras Brazil) reports live commercial service with measured throughput.
