flag Bolivia lifted satellite internet restrictions to improve connectivity and boost investment.

flag Bolivia’s new government, led by President Rodrigo Paz, has lifted restrictions on global satellite internet providers like Starlink and Amazon’s Kuiper, enabling nationwide service to address the country’s slow internet connectivity. flag The move reverses previous denials under former President Luis Arce, who cited data privacy and sovereignty concerns. flag Bolivia’s outdated geostationary satellite, launched in 2013, failed to improve speeds, while low-Earth-orbit systems like Starlink offer faster, more reliable service. flag A November 2025 Ookla report ranked Bolivia as having the slowest broadband in South America. flag The reforms are part of a broader economic strategy to attract foreign investment, including plans for data centers near El Alto and Cochabamba, amid efforts to address a U.S. dollar shortage and ongoing protests following the elimination of fuel subsidies.
