Costa Rica - Telecoms
Market Overview & Statistics
Costa Rica
is served by a relatively modern telecom infrastructure and has
the second highest Internet penetration for Latin America after
Chile. Yet Costa Rica is the region’s least liberalised
telecom market. State-owned Instituto Costarricense de
Electricidad (ICE) and its subsidiary RACSA are the monopoly
providers of both fixed-line and mobile telephony, Internet and
data communications – in fact, of virtually all telecom
services except for pay TV. Although this situation worked in the
past, it is now leading to considerable problems, such as: long
waiting lists for phones (mobile lines completely ran dry in
December 2004); stifling of new technologies such as VoIP (which
threaten ICE’s hegemony); and difficulties in implementing
new convergence strategies. Get this report
