As reported in Tax-news.com last week, Costa Rica's Internet service provision looks to be impeded by the refusal of state-owned monopoly Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) to offer its services to the commercial world. However, on a broader level, a new submarine link is set to enhance the central American country's telecommunications and Internet infrastructure.
Maya Cable 1 began operating in Costa Rica on October 21. For the first time ever, Costa Rica is linked via submarine cable with the rest of the world. The fibre-optic device has the capacity to carry the information issued by 400,000 computers at any given time, according to local sources.
The new cable links Colombia, Panama, Honduras, Mexico, Grand Cayman, and Costa Rica with a station in Hollywood, Florida, that in turn links these countries to the rest of the world. The improved efficiency may mean that ultimately the cost of international telephone calls and Internet connection will fall.
