 Costa Rica - Telecoms Market Overview & Statistics
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 virtually all telecom services except for pay TV and paging. While this situation worked in the past, it is now leading to considerable problems, such as long waiting lists for phones, poor service quality, obsolescence, and lack of investment. Costa Rica has one of the highest fixed-line teledensity rates in Latin America; yet its mobile penetration is significantly lower than the regional average and well below what could be expected given its relatively high GDP per capita. Once liberalised, the Costa Rican mobile market could skyrocket.
