The day when in Costa Rica consumers can choose their cellular telephone carrier is coming closer and the big players are getting ready to compete against the state owned telecom that has been a monopoly in Costa Rica for six decades and currently the sole operator, the Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE).
According to the Superintendencia de Telecomunicaciones (Sutel) the choice of three new operators will be made within the coming six months and the winners have to be ready to start their operations.
Although a decision last week by Costa Rica’s Constitutional Court (Sala Constitucional) orders the Sutel to make the decision final within three months.
If the Sutel keeps to its schedule and there are no more delays, by the first quarter or half of 2011, consumers will be able to choose their operator and the plan that suits best their telecommunications needs.
