Thanks to the arrival of new companies to the market and the advance of new technologies, Costa Rica is expected to have 100 percent cellular penetration within a year.
Currently, there are seven cellphones for every 10 persons in the country; very soon there will be 10.
The big winners in the newly opened cellphone market are people with low incomes. The companies are concentrating on products, such as pre-payment schemes that are designed to favor the less well-off.
