Three of the island’s major wireless carriers reported progress on their network recovery efforts as of Wednesday, as more consumers in Puerto Rico recover services.
The Federal Communications Commission’s approval of Google’s Project Look technology — which will enable fast recovery of telecommunications services in Puerto Rico — is a “leap forward” in the use of new technology to put the island back online, said Telecommunications Regulatory Board President Sandra Torres.
Responding to the destruction of communications networks wreaked by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Federal Communications Commission today took steps to immediately provide up to $76.9 million to help restore service.
