Driving from Moín to Siquirres you pass through the District of Carrundi. Flat low-lying fields of vast banana plantations as far as you can see. The area is dotted with small villages, fincas, and large corporate operations like Chiquita, Del Monte, and Dole. This is “banana central” and these popular fruits are getting ready for exportation and headed to the port of Moín. From the port, they travel to importers all over the world. The people in this area are proud hard-working folks and many of the areas that they live in are often remote and not that easy to get to. But, the district borders the ocean and that means plenty of fish and seafood. It’s a more simple life with some rich rewards. But something that is not plentiful here or even reliable is internet access.

It’s difficult to get reliable #Internet here. How can this problem be solved? The answer is Rural Satellite Internet. Last year the internet service provider, Itellum was named the official satellite internet provider for the country. Let’s find out more.
