For The CAFTA Report (March 25, 2009) Amnet, the cable television firm, is one of nine companies that have survived a review by the new telecommunication agency and have been designated for further study. Some 11 firms still are trying to comply. Among the so-far successful applicants is an Internet cafe, Cyber Conexión, which seeks to provide voice-over-Internet service in its locations. The new telecom law requires any commercial operation offering voice-over-Internet communications to seek approval. Amnet, whose corporate name is Dodona SRL, seeks to provide transmission of data, voice-over-Internet, access to information webs, and value-added services like video conferencing and television by subscription. The firm now offers a cable connection the the Radiográfica S.A. servers and cable television. The telecom agency, the Superintendencia de Telecomunicaciones, studied the finances and technical capabilities of the firms before approving them for further study. Also approved were Intertel Worldwide S.A., which seeks to provide prepaid public telephone service using the Internet; R&H International Telecom Services S.A., which seeks to provide voice-over-Internet services for homes and businesses; Worldcom de Costa Rica S.A., which seeks to provide wireless Internet connections and by land line, voice-over-Internet and corporate networks; Callmyway NY S.A. , which seeks to provide many types of communication services; Redes Inalámbricas de Costa Rica S.A., which seeks to provide corporate networks with wireless technology; and Junta Admistradora de Servicio Eléctrico Municipal de Cartago, which seeks to provide cable television and Internet. The other companies continue seeking approval. The companies that moved forward now have to publish a statement in the La Gaceta official newspaper outlining their proposals, and then there is a 10-day wait to see if there are objections. If there are no objections, the Superintendencia has 60 days to resolve the application. |
