About

Founded on 22 December 1965 as a state-linked company. In 1995 it was partly privatized when 50% was acquired by what became part of Telecom Italia; then in 2008 Entel was renationalized by state decree, giving the state ~97% ownership. More recently, Entel initiated a major fixed-broadband rollout: in 2014 it contracted ZTE Corporation to build a large-scale FTTx network covering all four regions of Bolivia (Source), (Source), (Source).
