Abrint

What Abrint does

Abrint – Associação Brasileira de Provedores de Internet e Telecomunicações – is a Brazilian non-profit civil association headquartered in Brasília, founded in 2008, that serves as the institutional representative of regional internet service providers in Brazil. It represents over 2,000 ISP member companies across all Brazilian states, which collectively account for 33.7 million fixed broadband accesses and hold more than 80% market share in municipalities with up to 100,000 inhabitants. Abrint's core proposition is regulatory advocacy (formal participation in ANATEL committees, CDUST, CGI.br, ISOC Brasil, and ITU forums) combined with a portfolio of member services, including exclusive DDoS mitigation, a Dell Technologies procurement partnership offering up to 8% discounts, Serasa Experian credit evaluation access via Abrint Consultas, legal and accounting advisory, and the Abrint Educa e-learning platform with over 200 certified courses.

The business model is a hybrid of recurring membership contributions, event-driven revenue, and partnership/affiliate economics. Membership fees are set by the Board of Directors and are not publicly disclosed; members are Brazilian legal entities holding ANATEL authorization for SCM (telecommunications) services. Revenue is supplemented by the Abrint Global Congress (AGC), the largest ISP event in Latin America, the regional Abrint Nordeste series, and Provedor em Foco state-level meetings. Abrint does not develop proprietary technology products; its 'products' are association services and benefits — the Membership Portal, Abrint Educa, Abrint Consultas, and event brands — distributed through direct membership application and digital channels. Go-to-market is event-driven, reinforced by active social media presence, WhatsApp-based regional communities, and the Câmara Abrint Mulher working group focused on female representation in the ISP sector.

Direct peers

• WISPA (Wireless Internet Service Providers Association): US-based trade association representing fixed wireless and WISPs. Operates an annual WISPAPALOOZA conference and runs federal/state regulatory advocacy on behalf of small and mid ISPs—the closest international analog to Abrint's ISP membership and advocacy model.
• SindiTelebrasil: Brazilian national union representing telecom operators. Abrint's most direct domestic peer, sharing the same regulatory advocacy terrain with ANATEL and the Ministry of Communications, but focused on large mobile/wireline carriers rather than regional ISPs.
• ABRANET (Associação Brasileira da Internet): Brazilian internet industry association representing internet content, services, and access providers. Comparable as another domestic association serving the Brazilian internet ecosystem with policy advocacy and member services, though with a different member profile than Abrint's regional ISPs.

Broad incumbents

• GSMA: Global mobile industry association representing 750+ mobile operators worldwide. Much larger and broader in scope than Abrint, but operates the same advocacy/events/member-benefits playbook (Mobile World Congress, industry policy work, member discounts) at global scale.
• CTIA: US wireless industry trade association representing carriers, manufacturers, and app developers. Comparably structured as an established telecom industry body with deep regulatory influence (FCC, Congress), but serving a mature, large-carrier-dominated market rather than regional ISPs.
• Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA): US-based industry association for ICT vendors, suppliers, and operators with focus on standards development and policy advocacy. Analogous trade-body model with a broader vendor/supplier orientation and more developed standards work than Abrint.
• Fiber Broadband Association: North American fiber-to-the-home industry association. Comparable as an ISP-aligned industry body with events (Fiber Connect), policy advocacy, and member training, though focused specifically on fiber broadband rather than Abrint's broader regional ISP scope.

Regional players

• ISPA UK (Internet Services Providers' Association): UK-based trade association for ISPs. Mirrors Abrint's advocacy and member-services model but operates in a different regulatory geography (Ofcom, UK government) with a more mature broadband market.
• EuroISPA: European umbrella association for European ISP associations. Comparable as a federated ISP industry body engaged in policy advocacy (EU-level), but operating at a continental scale across multiple national jurisdictions rather than a single country.
• InternetNZ: New Zealand's non-profit internet industry body funded by members (.nz registry revenues). Closely mirrors Abrint's non-profit member-funded structure with policy advocacy, community grants, and an event/education remit, though operating in a much smaller market.
