Costa Rica clears the way for cellphone competition

Obstacles that confronted the plans to open the market in cellphones in Costa Rica have been overcome.

The regulator, in return, promised to ensure a mechanism that would maintain the institute’s finances afloat, as well as promoting its fixed-phone network.
