The Puerto Rico Telecommunications Regulatory Board will be working with local entities interested in presenting proposals to the Federal Communications Commission’s Rural Broadband Experiments program, which has $100 million available to assign across the U.S. and its territories.
Puerto Rico will host this year’s annual Latin American Forum of Telecommunications Regulators convention in November, when industry representatives from the region will convene to discuss and seek solutions to current issues.
Telecommunications provider Claro de Puerto Rico announced Tuesday the first project developed with the $31.5 million it received from the Connect America Fund, that will enable 800 families in the mountain town of Corozal to access broadband Internet for the first time.
