Fiber connections shoot up in Bolivia
Bolivia's fiber optic (FTTx) connections still have a long road ahead. Nonetheless this technology grew 123% from December 2016 to June this year, moving from 45,070 connections to 100,320, according to the country's telecom authority ATT.
The Andean country recorded 7.13mn internet lines in June of this year, up 3.7% from the end of last year, said the ATT. The number of subscribers is expected to reach 7.25mn by year-end, the regulator added.
The ATT said it expects the number of FTTx connections to grow more during the rest of the year.
State-run telco Entel Bolivia's FTTx network had 90,000 homes passed in September and the company expects to reach 250,000 passed homes by year-end. Its competitor Tigo had 200,000 homes passed in the first quarter of this year.
