Puerto Rico’s wireless market is gearing up for another year of growth, fueled by the explosion of 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) digital technology that promises faster and better services. The demand that should be associated with LTE will drive companies to do everything they can to expand the technology’s reach, industry executives told News is my Business.
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.
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.
