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.
