Costa Rica seeks fourth cellular operator

Costa Rica’s telecokmmunications reulator, Sutel, has published the bidding conditions for the forthcoming auction of 70MHz of frequencies – 40 MHz in the 1800 MHz band and 30 MHz in the 1900/2100 MHz bands – yet to be allocated following the country’s 2011 tender.

The process also opens the possibility for new operators to enter the domestic market, competing with the state telecom ICE (Kolbi brand), Claro and Movistar.
