One of the two wireless carriers that include Apple’s iPhone in its portfolio of devices sold in Puerto Rico confirmed Wednesday it will be selling the new iPhone 5 model as soon as it becomes available.
Competition between Puerto Rico’s two largest wireless carriers, Claro and AT&T, over the mobile residential phone market is heating up, with the latter company’s introduction of its “Claro Hogar” service.
Puerto Rico Telephone, which does business as Claro Puerto Rico, has drawn the line in the sand with regards to Liberty Puerto Rico’s proposed acquisition of OneLink Communications, asking the Telecommunications Regulatory Board for transparency in the process.
Keeping its commitment to social and technology development across all sectors of Puerto Rico’s population, Claro de Puerto Rico announced Monday the expansion of its basic Internet course program to include the group of “baby boomers” who belong to the Plaza Las Américas “Walkers Club” who visit the mall daily to walk and exercise.
Looking to provide easier and better accessibility to email, documents and applications anytime, anywhere Claro Puerto Rico and Microsoft Corp. have partnered to launch Office 365, a cloud-based suite of productivity tools designed for small and mid-sized businesses.
During a recent call with investors, América Móvil CEO Daniel Hajj confirmed that the commercial launch of its 4G Long-Term Evolution platform in Puerto Rico will not take place until the third quarter of this year, following a limited roll-out of the next-generation technology late last year.
As it does every quarter, the Federal Communications Commission is reviewing the rates that telephone companies must charge and pass off to consumers to cover the Universal Service Fund, which among other things, subsidizes services offered to low-income consumers as well as improvements to schools and libraries.
Telecommunications and technology provider Claro Puerto Rico recently struck an agreement with retailer JCPenney to open point-of-sale kiosks at the Plaza las Américas and Carolina stores.
The arrival of television-via-broadband could happen this quarter, as Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) had mapped out, after the U.S. District Court dismissed complaint filed by OneLink Communications opposing the manner in which the license to launch the service was granted.
OneLink Communications and Choice Cable TV will face off against the Telecommunications Regulatory Board in federal court this week over the agency’s decision to grant Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) a cable television franchise license to offer Internet Protocol television services, which the cable providers claim is illegal.
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.
Puerto Rico Telephone, which does business as Claro, announced Friday that if the increase in Universal Service Fund charges that the Federal Communications Commission is pushing for is approved, landline and wireless customers will see an increase in their bill starting the first quarter of 2012.
Wireless speeds for Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) customers are about to get a whole lot faster.
Wireless provider Claro announced it is dropping the price of its basic Internet service to $20 a month to provide an entry-level alternative to that segment of the population that may not be able to afford a costlier option.
Wireless carrier Claro announced Wednesday it will begin selling the iPhone 4S starting Nov. 11, starting at $99.99 for the 16GB model, $199.99 for the 32GB model and $299.99 for the 64GB handset. The carrier will also offer the older iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS models.
