Matrix analysis
What the Bolivia Feature Matrix Actually Means

Coverage: Bolivia is a single-operator market (Tigo). All 5 providers share the same infrastructure. Coverage scores compress because no provider has a carrier advantage. The dimension effectively neutralizes.
Network: Bolivia runs on 4G LTE. Since all providers route through the same infrastructure, network scores track the carrier tier, not the provider. Pricing: plans start at $8.89 (1GB), $8.89/GB floor rate. No unlimited plans in Bolivia. Fixed-data pricing drives the entire Pricing dimension.
