The telecom market in Costa Rica is experiencing a very rapid adoption of mobile services as local player ICE prepares to face competition from pan-regional operators. Currently, mobile voice is still expanding, but its growth will soon slow as users migrate to data services. Local player ICE also invested significant resources to deploy its fixed broadband service Acelera and has successfully penetrated the residential service over the past three years. Going forward, mobile data will expand 27.2% between 2011 and 2016, and by the end of the forecast period it will be as large as mobile voice services. Fixed broadband will also enjoy double-digit growth (11.9%) and become larger than fixed voice by 2015. Other sources of expansion include VoIP (which will complement service bundles by cable operators) and pay-TV services, where IPTV will account for around 10% of total revenue by the end of 2016.
