ICE, the government communications monopoly, feels the obligation to reimburse cell phone users for the 12-day interruption of service on its Alcatel net, according to ICE spokesman Elberth Duran.

The public telecommunications company is awaiting a technical study of what went wrong with the net. The Alcatel system, installed under dubious circumstances that resulted in the indictment of numerous public officials, including ex-president Miguel Angel Rodriguez, has worked poorly in the past. Finally, ICE was forced to take over the net to try curing its technological deficiencies.

The failure in the system may have affected 20,000 ICE customers who pay 3,500 colones per month for the service.
