Costa Rica - Telecoms Mobile and Broadband
Costa Rica's telecom sector is undergoing a sea change, following a new General Telecommunications Law (GTL) that is gradually opening the country's telecom market to competition. The GTL has been described as the most advanced legislation in Latin America in its approach to technological convergence. The first transformation was implemented in January 2009, with the creation of a new regulator, the Superintendencia de Telecomunicaciones (Sutel). As soon as it was established, Sutel began to receive requests from companies interested in obtaining telecom concessions. A public spectrum auction has been scheduled for 2010. State-owned ICE and its subsidiary RACSA have been the monopoly providers of virtually all telecom services in Costa Rica except for pay TV. This report provides an overview of the country's telecom sector accompanied by relevant statistics and analyses.
