Bolivia - Telecoms Market
Overview and Statistics
The opening of the Bolivian telecom
market in November 2001 led to greater investments in the sector
and lower consumer prices. However, fixed-line teledensity is
still low at about 7%. Ethnic conflicts, socio-economic problems
and natural disasters have slowed down telecom growth. With the
arrival of some political stability, Bolivian economy picked up
in late 2003 through 2004, and telcos invested US$100 million in
2004. Though small compared with neighbouring countries,
Bolivia’s broadband market was the fastest growing telecom
sector in 2004, together with mobile telephony. Mobile
subscribers outnumber fixed phones by more than two to one. Two
companies offer GSM/GPRS services, making the country one of
Latin America’s most active GSM markets. See report summary
