Currently there is no anti-spam enforcement authority in
Costa Rica. However, on 14 May 2002, the government-owned ISP, RACSA, has issued
a specific ruling on SPAM that regulates messages generated within its domain,
racsa.co.cr. This applies to all its customers, a group comprising 80 per cent
of Costa Rica´s Internet users. The ruling addresses the issues of spam and
unsolicited commercial communications, and establishes an opt-in, opt-out
system. It includes penalties that range from the spammer signing a formal
commitment to stop all spam, all the way up to the permanent closure of the
Internet account. The actions taken under this ruling have reduced the amount of
spam generated in Costa Rica to a negligible level.
