What a Minas Gerais IP address tells you
Belo Horizonte concentrates what the snapshot records for Minas Gerais. Ativas lists 13 networks, more than any other site in the state, and G8 Teleporto Serra do Curral Belo Horizonte and CENTURY TELECOM LTDA list 5 each. Just outside the capital, PIX Century Telecom - Belo Horizonte in Contagem lists 6. Entries in Ribeirão das Neves, Coronel Fabriciano and Sete Lagoas carry one network or none. No exchange appears in the state record, so networks in Minas Gerais interconnect privately inside these buildings or carry traffic out of the state to peer.
An address that a database places in Minas Gerais reads that way because the operator registered the block to an address there. Claro (AS22085), TIM (AS26615) and Vivo (AS26599, AS27699) route mobile subscribers through regional gateways, so a handset in Belo Horizonte can present an address a lookup assigns to another state, and a block labelled Minas Gerais can serve devices far outside it. The label describes paperwork rather than a position.
Look at the prefix instead. The origin ASN tells you which network announces the address and the netname on the registration tells you who holds the block, and neither changes when a geolocation vendor updates a city guess. For fixed hosting, the 38 network presences across the state's 15 recorded facilities cluster in Belo Horizonte and Contagem, which makes the set of possible buildings small.

Questions
How many data centres are in Minas Gerais?
The snapshot records 15 facilities across 5 cities, holding 38 network presences. Ativas in Belo Horizonte lists 13 networks, PIX Century Telecom - Belo Horizonte in Contagem lists 6, and G8 Teleporto Serra do Curral and CENTURY TELECOM LTDA list 5 each. Several entries list none.
Is there an internet exchange in Minas Gerais?
No. The snapshot records no exchange in the state and no peering participants. Networks in Minas Gerais either interconnect privately inside facilities such as Ativas or CENTURY TELECOM LTDA, or carry their traffic beyond the state to reach an exchange elsewhere.
Can I get an IP address in Minas Gerais?
That follows the operator's address registration rather than a customer's choice. A block reads as Minas Gerais because whoever holds it registered it there, and mobile ranges are pooled behind gateways that make the state label unreliable for any single device.
