In Venezuela, hardly anyone debates anymore whether internet is a basic service or a luxury. It’s both. And while public debate focuses on the price of a home internet plan, a bigger problem is brewing beneath the surface: who pays for the infrastructure that underpins the country’s digital economy.

In plain language: fewer new networks, more areas with spotty service, and more years of waiting for anything decent to arrive.
