Tired of spotty internet, Bolivians are smuggling in Starlink.

Bolivia, which relies on a Chinese-built satellite for some of its connectivity, banned Starlink — but that hasn’t stopped people from smuggling the device into the country.

• Bolivia’s internet comes from a Chinese-built satellite, and connectivity is patchy.
• Demand for contraband Starlink kits has grown since the company was denied a license last year.
• The telecoms authority said it is considering easing regulations for low-orbit satellites.
