IBTD proposes bill for backbones

▤ Summary

IBTD is drafting a bill to encourage high-capacity backbone networks that connect AI data centers in regions with abundant renewable energy. The proposal, called Refibra, will complement the institute’s Redata initiative and is expected to be finalized in the second half of the year. The plan aims to lower the cost of deploying backbone equipment so new AI infrastructure can expand beyond Brazil’s traditional hubs. That creates a potential opening for network, infrastructure, and data center vendors that can support large-scale connectivity projects.
