The effects of the recently approved “net neutrality” will have on Puerto Rico’s telecommunications industry are still uncertain, because the public and private sectors are holding off until the official order is released to either celebrate or voice their opposition, this media outlet learned.
Broadband service provider Critical Hub announced Tuesday it has opened more than 25 Optico Fiber “fiberhoods” in the San Juan area to provide gigabit-speed Internet.
Puerto Rico needs to consider integrating broadband use as one of its key economic indicators — beyond cement production and energy consumption — to promote business expansion and the development of new initiatives to create jobs, generate tax revenue and even increase real estate values, public and private sector industry representatives said Tuesday.
