Delayed by a “give-and-take” between Telecommunications Regulatory Board members and representatives from Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) and companies opposed to its application for a cable television franchise license, Monday’s hearing on IPTV got off to an unsurprisingly rocky start.
Claro has stepped up its efforts to obtain the franchise license it requested more than three years ago to break into the island’s paid television market by launching an online signature collection campaign Friday in support of its IPTV service.
Hundreds of channels, “a la carte”-like programming and cutting edge features based on a $60 million platform are some of the features that Claro TV is ready to offer island customers through the Internet-based cable television service it is proposing to launch.
