Brazilian Wi-Fi contractor sues ICB for R$4.5M over disputed payments

Ultra IP Tecnologia e Serviços, subcontracted by Instituto Conhecer Brasil (ICB) for São Paulo's Wi-Fi Livre program, is suing ICB for R$4.5 million, alleging it installed 3,200 internet points and questioning payments made to other suppliers. The dispute centers on whether ICB paid for services Ultra claims to have executed, with ICB citing 'distrust in the communities' for advance payments. This legal action could expose irregularities in a public program's contracting.
