Three years after receiving $31.6 million from the Federal Communications Commission to provide new broadband access to more than 40,000 homes in Puerto Rico, Claro President Enrique Ortiz de Montellano confirmed Wednesday the project has been completed.
Telecommunications provider Claro announced Monday that as part of its $370 million investment in network upgrades, it has extended high-speed wireless broadband to 61 sectors in 30 towns across Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico’s internet adoption rate continues increasing, reaching 81.6 percent during the first quarter of 2016, Telecommunications Regulatory Board President Javier Rúa-Jovet said, citing statistics published by Akamai Technologies.
