History of the Internet in Costa Rica
The interconnecting process of Costa Rica to the foremost research networks began in 1990 with the establishment of the first node of Bitnet Network in Central America at the Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR). Two years later, on January 26, 1993, the Internet Network integrated as well.

Along with the UCR pioneer connections, the Red Nacional de Investigación de Costa Rica (CRNet), is created. This digital network operates through fiber optic links with the purpose of interconnecting the most important academic and research institutions in the country,thus granting these entities vast access to the information and computational resources of the world.

These significant achievements not only allowed instant connectivity of a considerable number of people with the rest of the world, but also introduced for the first time the inter-networking technology on a large scale to the country.
