The telecom market in Costa Rica generated $709m in 2008, a 7.41% growth compared with 2007. It is expected to grow at a 10.3% CAGR over the next five years, the fastest rate in Latin America, as the mobile sector will welcome competition from three new entrants that will likely boost penetration and promote mobile data services. We see interesting opportunities in broadband (13.5% growth), mobile data (41% growth) and mobile voice (9.8% growth).
All regional players — Millicom, América Móvil, Digicel, Telefónica and C&W — have expressed interest in entering the market and competing against the current monopoly from state-owned ICE. ICE has responded by launching 3G services and accelerating the supply of new lines. On the fixed side, RACSA, the state company, has launched WiMAX.
