 Bolivia - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
One of the poorest and least developed Latin American nations, Bolivia has the second lowest fixed line teledensity (7%) in South America after Paraguay. Mobile subscribers have outnumbered fixed lines in service since 2000. In early 2006, there were almost four mobile phones for every fixed line in service. Even so, mobile penetration (26%) is still well below the regional average. The incumbent telecom operator, Entel, is the market leader in long distance telephony and, through its subsidiary Entel Movil, it is also the mobile market leader. Entel's owner, Telecom Italia, has been in talks with a number of parties interested in acquiring Entel. This report provides an overview of Bolivia's telecom sector, relevant statistics, and brief profiles of the main operators.
