Internet leader Costa Rica targets universal broadband access even in remote areas

Costa Rica’s government has introduced its new National Broadband Strategy, which aims to provide broadband services to even the most remote areas of the country.

Costa Rica has the second highest internet penetration in Latin America, after Chile, according to Informa Telecoms & Media’s Intelligence Centre.

By the end of 2010, broadband subscriptions had reached 667,000 – a year-on-year increase of 50 per cent.
