Gov. Alejandro García-Padilla has named Javier Rúa-Jovet, who served as deputy secretary of the Department of Natural and Environmental Resources under the Aníbal Acevedo Vilá administration, as the new president of the Puerto Rico Telecommunications Regulatory Board, this media outlet has learned.
The Puerto Rico Chamber of Commerce will sponsor next month the “Puerto Rico Telecom Conference 2011: The New Future,” through which it seeks to give participants a chance to exchange ideas on telecommunications technologies, achieving greater Internet access, and how going online can help companies to grow, reach new markets, and innovate.
Upon learning earlier this week that more than 200,000 local consumers are allegedly committing fraud with subsidies offered on residential and wireless telephone services, Sen. Lornna Soto will visit the Telecommunications Regulatory Board today to collect documents and other information that may be referred to local and federal law enforcement authorities.
