The arrival of television-via-broadband could happen this quarter, as Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) had mapped out, after the U.S. District Court dismissed complaint filed by OneLink Communications opposing the manner in which the license to launch the service was granted.
OneLink Communications and Choice Cable TV will face off against the Telecommunications Regulatory Board in federal court this week over the agency’s decision to grant Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) a cable television franchise license to offer Internet Protocol television services, which the cable providers claim is illegal.
The Telecommunications Regulatory Board recently inaugurated a state-of-the-art $36,000 Internet center in Gurabo, the fifth town to have such a facility designed to continue bridging the digital divide in rural areas.
