ICE Ordered To
Provide Internet
Service In León
XIIIIf
you can't get
ICE to move its
left foot to
provide
services, there
is always the
Sala
Constitucional,
who has ordered
the state
telecom to
provide a
resident of León
XIII internet
service.
The woman,
identified by
her last name
Castillo
Chavarría,
appealed to the
Constitutional
Court when the
Instituto
Costarricense de
Electricidad
(ICE) refused
her an internet
connection for
living in a "urbano-marginal".
León XIII is one
of the most
conflictive area
in Costa Rica.
The
Constitutional
Court ruled that
the woman's
rights to a
fundamental
public service
were violated
and ordered the
state
institution to
provide her an
internet
connection by
either ADSL
(landline
connection) or
by way of a "datacard"
- USB connection
over the
cellular
network.
