New Progressive Party Rep. José Chico filed late Tuesday a resolution ordering the House Government Affairs Committee to launch a probe into alleged irregularities by a number of Telecommunications Regulatory Board members that resulted in blocking the cable television franchise license requested by Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro).
The island’s five wireless carriers will be ready to implement the Commercial Mobile Alert System in April, making it possible for them to send simultaneous messages to all of their customers on the island related to any emergency situation.
Less than 24 hours after the Telecommunications Regulatory Board made public a resolution and order that seemingly granted the cable television franchise license Puerto Rico Telephone (Claro) has been seeking since 2008, agency President Sandra Torres said Friday the decision is “null” because its content is radically different from what was discussed earlier this year.
