247 – MBL deputy Kim Kataguiri decided to use his networks to promote disinformation about the tragedy plaguing Rio Grande do Sul and at the same time suck up to billionaire Elon Musk. According to him, the only internet network available in the state would be Musk’s Starlink. However, this information has already been refuted by checking agencies.

There is no news on reliable portals stating that businessman Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet service is the only network available to cooperate with rescues in Rio Grande do Sul. In noteConexis Brasil Digital — which brings together telecommunications and connectivity companies in Brazil — reported that the main fixed and mobile internet operators associated with the institution have kept their networks active in most of the state.

The operators Tim, Vivo and Claro opened their telephone networks in the state so that people can temporarily access the available networks of the other two for free. The measure is valid for all active customers, with pre- or post-paid accounts.

Conexis also highlighted that providers are monitoring the return of electricity, the weather situation and the release of roads so that they can “act to restore the damaged services in the shortest possible time”.
