As a result, Bitel's 4G subscribers grew at an impressive rate of 139% during the first six months in 2019, compared with the same period a year ago. Bitel has been providing information technology infrastructure for Peru's government with total contract value of more than US$46 million, which is 2.5 times the amount in 2018.
