Summary
Grupo Televisa said Izzi will add Starlink-powered residential internet, extending their partnership beyond existing connectivity services.
The offering is meant to complement—not replace—Izzi’s fiber network in areas where building terrestrial infrastructure is too costly or technically difficult.
SpaceX’s 2025 annual report said Starlink operates about 9,000 active satellites, including 650 assigned to Direct to Cell service for smartphone links without ground-based mobile infrastructure.
Izzi’s move underscores a broader industry shift: satellite internet is no longer just a remote-area fallback, but a competitive tool to widen coverage, cut rollout costs and reshape telecom rivalry.
