What maplenet does

Maplenet, legally registered as MAPLENET COMUNICACIONES S.A., is a private Bolivian telecommunications company headquartered in La Paz at Esquina Gral. Inofuentes y Calle 20 de Calacoto #1375. It operates as a direct-to-consumer internet service provider positioning itself as the first entirely Bolivian-owned telecom in the country. The company is regulated by Bolivia's Autoridad de Regulación y Fiscalización de Transportes y Comunicaciones (ATT) under Law N° 164, and holds a comprehensive stack of administrative resolutions for Internet Access, Signal Distribution, Bearer Services, Value-Added Services, and Voice over Internet, including regional licenses in Pando.

The core product is a 100% fiber-optic broadband service built on GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) technology. The portfolio is segmented across three primary tiers: residential (Fibra Hogar and Fibra Hogar Plus, 100-1000 Mbps download at a 4:1 symmetry ratio, Bs. 149-609/month), SMB business (Fibra Empresa and Fibra Empresa Plus, 100-1000 Mbps with 2:1 to 4:3 symmetry, Bs. 599-10,000/month), and large enterprise (Fibra Corporativa, 50-500 Mbps fully symmetric 1:1 with 24/7 NOC and equipment provisioning, Bs. 4,200-29,000/month). Beyond connectivity, Maplenet runs the M+ OTT streaming sub-brand, offering 31 local channels as a standalone Bs. 10/month subscription and 163 channels via GOONTV bundled into Hogar Plus plans. A self-service portal (micuenta.maplenet.com.bo) and web-based M+ Player support account management and content access.

The business model is recurring monthly subscriptions priced in Bolivianos, with installation fees ranging Bs. 190-350 depending on tier. The company operates a fully digital direct-to-consumer go-to-market — plan selection and sign-up happen on its website, while WhatsApp (59178352883) and email ([email protected]) serve as the human-assisted sales and support channels. Active social media presence spans LinkedIn, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube. Currently operating geographies are disclosed as La Paz only, with Pando licensed for future expansion. The company is privately held with no external funding rounds or parent company on record.

Direct peers

• Tigo Bolivia (Millicom): Millicom's Bolivian operation offers residential and business fiber/broadband plus mobile and pay-TV across the country. Direct competitor on speed tiers, bundled offers, and SMB/corporate accounts, with far greater scale and brand recognition.
• Entel Bolivia: State-owned incumbent with the largest fixed-line and mobile share in Bolivia, offering home fiber, business connectivity, and TV services. Most direct competitor on residential and enterprise broadband in La Paz.
• Viva Bolivia: Bolivian mobile and fixed operator ( Trilogy International) offering fiber and bundled home internet services. Competes head-to-head on residential fiber plans and digital onboarding similar to Maplenet's self-service motion.
• Movistar Bolivia (Telefónica Hispanoamérica): Telefónica's Bolivian unit provides fiber and mobile services to consumers and enterprises. Comparable on FTTH speeds, B2B connectivity, and bundled offers, with broader geographic reach.

Regional players

• WOW Colombia: Regional fiber ISP operating in Colombia with comparable residential/business tiers and OTT bundling. Useful regional comparable for go-to-market and bundling strategy, though in a more developed fiber market.
• VTR (Liberty Latin America): Chilean cable and fiber operator under Liberty Latin America offering residential triple-play and business connectivity. Comparable product mix (broadband + TV + business), different geography.
• Megacable: Mexican cable/fiber ISP offering residential, SMB, and enterprise broadband plus OTT bundles. Comparable on multi-tier pricing and bundled entertainment; materially larger addressable market.
• izzí Telecom (Grupo Televisa): Mexican fiber/cable provider delivering residential internet, TV, and SMB connectivity. Comparable speed tiers, bundled TV positioning, and SMB/corporate segmentation.

Emerging players

• Optical Networks (Perú): Peruvian fiber-to-the-home and data-transport operator serving residential and enterprise customers with GPON. Closest emerging-market emerging peer on greenfield GPON strategy and tiered SMB offers.

Broad incumbents

• Liberty Latin America: Pan-LatAm cable and fiber platform (parent of VTR, Liberty PR, Flow, etc.) operating fixed broadband and pay-TV. Broad incumbent footprint with overlapping capabilities to Maplenet's fiber + TV bundle, though at vastly different scale.
