QCOSTARICA — 19% of the people in Costa Rica indicate that they do not have Internet service in their home because they do not know how to use it, according to data obtained through the ICT module of the National Household Survey (ENAHO) of the INEC.
The data demonstrate the challenge that the country has in solving the digital divide.
“These data complement those published by the regulator and allow us to know how people use telecommunications services. Furthermore, in the specific case of the Internet, it shows that there is a knowledge gap that, as a country, we must overcome to expand the benefits of the information and knowledge society,” said Cinthya Arias, president of the Board of Directors of Sutel.
