Critical Hub Networks announced Thursday that the Puerto Rico Bridge Initiative has interconnected with the Florida Internet Exchange (FL-IX), a move that improves access to Internet content for Puerto Rico broadband users.
Network engineers from Puerto Rico’s broadband providers met for several days this week at the Telegrafo facilities in Santurce for the “2013 IPv6 Summit for Broadband Network Operators,” to begin preparations for Puerto Rico’s transition to IPv6 – the next generation Internet Protocol.
The cost of broadband service in Puerto Rico has dropped by more than 75 percent since 2009, when carriers charged between $40 and $65 per Megabit per second, to less than $10 per Mbps in 2012, said Carlo Marazzi, President of Critical Hub Networks, which released Monday the "Puerto Rico Bridge Initiative’s Project Summary & Achievements" report detailing the impact that its ARRA-funded broadband project has made in improving broadband services on the island.
