Costa Rica ‘will double mobile subscribers within four years’

Costa Rica's telecommunications market offers opportunities with its new liberalization, opening the door for boosting mobile penetration to 136 percent by 2015 with prepaid subscriptions, according to a new report from Pyramid Research.

 

Costa Rica is the last country in Latin America to liberalize its telecommunications industry. Now, the regulator has been busy with the liberalization of fixed and mobile services taking place.

 

"Costa Rica is auctioning three mobile licenses over the next few months, and the process is expected to be completed before year end," says José Magaña, senior analyst at Pyramid Research.
