América Móvil – Costa Rica Cellular Bids

Telecoms, , , , , , ,

América Móvil (Claro) is the only company that has confirmed its effective participation in the spectrum bidding, out of five that have expressed their interest in taking part in the process.

Cable & Wireless and Millicom are studying how the process was developing, while Digicel and Telefonica would not comment on the matter. Last week, the Costa Rican treasury controller’s office requested that telecommunications regulator Sutel amend and make corrections by 21 October to the tender that will open Costa Rica’s mobile phone market to competition. The licensing of three new mobile operators aims to break the monopoly held by state-owned Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad (ICE). The controller’s office was reacting to complaints filed by Cable & Wireless, Claro Costa Rica and Centennial Towers.

The reception of the bids is scheduled by November 5.
