Bolivia's New Leader Boosts Tech, Internet
Update: 2025-12-24
Description
Bolivias new president, Rodrigo Paz, has opened the door for satellite internet companies like Starlink and Kuiper, aiming to upgrade the nations notoriously slow connections and bring faster service to remote areas in the Andes. This move comes after the previous government denied a license to SpaceX over data protection and national sovereignty concerns. Bolivia currently has the slowest mobile and fixed broadband speeds in South America, hampering everyday tasks and leaving many at a digital disadvantage. Paz hopes this will close the digital divide and help the country catch up, also drawing investments for data centers from firms like Tesla, Amazon, and Oracle.
