Sponsored Link: Costa Rica - Telecoms Market Overview & Stat 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.
