ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

FREE WiFi in Downtown San Jose area - Costa Rica

Center of San Jose gets FREE wireless Internet•WiFi

By the http://AMCostaRica.com staff  
February 9, 2012

The Ministerio de Ciencia y Tecnología has installed a low-speed wireless system in an area adjacent to the Asamblea Legislativa. The plan is characterized as a pilot project.

The coverage of the 512 kbps system runs from the Estación al Atlántico to the Tribunales de Justicia. That puts the legislature and the Museo Nacional right in the middle of coverage. However, both already are serviced by the Internet.

The principal beneficiaries probably will be persons awaiting trains at the station and persons relaxing in Parque Nacional. The general public can access the system for free with a laptop computer or cell telephones with Internet capabilities, the ministry said.

The Compañía Nacional de Fuerza y Luz helped erect an antenna. The ministry will keep track of how many persons use the system.

The system was welcomed with a ceremony Wednesday on the Bulevar Ricardo Jiménez, which is Calle 17 that runs east of the legislature.
