The Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Costa Rica ruled that it was permissible to restrict mobile internet speeds of some users as long as such restrictions were necessary to alleviate heavy traffic and did not strip users of internet access all together. The case concerned the legitimacy of fair use policies, which permitted mobile companies to lower mobile internet speed of users who expended their data packages. The Chamber upheld the notion that internet access was a fundamental right, and as such the State had a duty to facilitate and expand internet access. Flowing from this obligation, the State rather than a private company was responsible for determining the necessity of restricting mobile internet speeds and the minimum permissible speed under fair use policies.
