AT&T focused on finding partner in Costa Rica

US telco AT&T said it is continuing its search for a partner who provides local interconnections in Costa Rica.
Finding a suitable partner is key to AT&T's operations in Costa Rica, as the telco's plan involves using existing infrastructure from third parties rather than building its own, reported local daily La República.
Last August saw telecom regulator Sutel approve AT&T's request for a data transfer and leased lines license. The US company expects to provide virtual private networks and communication services to multinational clients with operations in Costa Rica.
Eduardo Farinelli, AT&T's VP of sales for Central America, acknowledged the country's attractiveness, yet discarded the possibility of offering mobile or fixed telephony, as well as other consumer services in the country. In his view, these services are not aligned with the company's strategy for Latin America, which consist of growing in emerging economies by focusing on corporate clients.
Mexico provides an exception within this strategy. AT&T began offering consumer mobile services in 2015 and has helped restructure the country's mobile market.
