Six weeks after holding possibly the most explosive public hearing in its history, the Telecommunications Regulatory Board has yet to officially grant Claro the franchise license it needs to launch Internet-based television services.
As of Friday morning, some 20,000 OneLink Communications customers still had no service in the wake of storm Irene, company officials said.
A hearing slated to let the public and paid television industry players offer their opinions on whether Claro TV’s request for a cable television franchise is in the public interest may not take place Monday at the Telecommunications Regulatory Board if petitions the company filed to block it are granted.
