The heads of the Puerto Rico Telecommunications Regulatory Board and the Federal Communications Commission met last week to coordinate a joint agenda to promote faster and better access to broadband communications services on the island, through a $4 million annual allocation.
The USDA announced the availability of loans to build broadband in rural areas, along with changes to the program required by the 2014 Farm Bill.
The Puerto Rico Telecommunications Regulatory Board has set the ball rolling on an initiative to gather data from the island’s broadband providers to define the sector’s contributions to the economy, with results expected to be ready in a year, agency President Javier Rúa-Jovet said Wednesday.
