From The Strange And
Uh? Department, ICE Guarantees 90% 3G
Cellular Coverage On The New San José -
Caldera Highway
The Instituto Costarricense de Electricidad
(ICE) says it guarantees 3G cellular service
for at least 90% of the entire San José -
Caldera highway, upgrading its coverage of
the area following complaints by a number of
users.
ICE says that the coverage is also assured
for data transmission, that is mobile
internet services that allow the sending and
receiving of emails and web surfing over a
cellular telephone.
According to ICE, coverage from the Gimnasio
Nacional (east end of the Sabana park) and
the Brazil de Mora is 100%, from Brasil de
Mora to Orotina, 86% and back to 100% from
Orotina to Caldera.
Now, can someone tell the geniuses at ICE
that it is ILLEGAL in Costa Rica to talk on
a cellular phone while driving. And why
place so much importance on maintaining full
coverage on the highway?
Do they really think that drivers will pull
over to make or receive a cellular telephone
call, send or read text messages and emails
and surf the web on their iPhone or
Blackberry?
Come on guys, this is Costa Rica.
