As the island’s internet connectivity continues to recover, Liberty Puerto Rico is stressing the importance of using this resource responsibly and safely through its corporate social responsibility campaign “Navega con seguridad” and the celebration of the 11th annual “Safer Internet Day.”
Wireless carrier T-Mobile, one of Puerto Rico’s main service providers, had no communication at all with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority in the hours after Hurricane María knocked out power to the island, which virtually cut off telecommunications as a result, said Jorge Martel, the company’s general manager of the local operation.

Luis "Junior" Pérez-Ortíz presented bipartisan legislation Tuesday to guarantee the right of internet users in Puerto Rico to net neutrality, in light of the recent decision by Federal Communications Commission to remove such protections stateside.
