AT&T announced Wednesday its ongoing expansion of its 4G LTE network on the island, rolling it out to parts of Aguada, Aguadilla, Añasco, Mayaguez, Rincon, Moca and Hormigueros. The added areas comes a month after AT&T introduced 4G LTE in parts of the San Juan metropolitan area on Nov. 20.
As 2011 wraps up, the Puerto Rico Manufacturers Association — one of the island’s most important trade organizations — took stock Tuesday of the last 12 months, concluding that a trio of major administration-backed measures significantly set back competitiveness by hindering free trade and industrial growth.
AT&T’s decision to walk away from its intention of buying rival T-Mobile puts an end to concerns expressed locally that consummating the $39 billion transaction would create a monopoly on the island.
