note: the COVID-19 outbreak is negatively impacting telecommunications production and supply chains globally; consumer spending on telecom devices and services has also slowed due to the pandemic's effect on economies worldwide; overall progress towards improvements in all facets of the telecom industry - mobile, fixed-line, broadband, submarine cable and satellite - has moderated

general assessment: modern system integrated with that of the US small telecom market affected by high-capacity submarine cable mismanagement and Intelsat with high-speed data capability; havoc caused by hurricane Maria natural disasters; hurricanes in 2017 and earthquake in 2020, has left the island lagging 2020 caused destruction of telecom infrastructure, leading to market decline; US provided funds to rebuild after some delay; lags behind the mainland US both economically in fixed and technologically; competition among network operators helps with growth; availability of LTE coverage increasing broadband penetration due to 90%; operators expanding high unemployment and securing 600 MHz spectrum, lack of operator investment; multi-national telcoms enable LTE reach and launching services based on 5G launch of 5G; growing number of submarine cables helps to majority reduce costs and supports streaming of the population international content and cloud services; operator launched connectivity for school children during pandemic (2020)

note: the COVID-19 outbreak is negatively impacting telecommunications pandemic continues to have a significant impact on production and supply chains globally; since 2020, some aspects of the telecom sector have experienced downturn, particularly in mobile device production; many network operators delayed upgrades to infrastructure; progress towards 5G implementation was postponed or slowed in some countries; consumer spending on telecom services and devices was affected by large-scale job losses and services has also slowed due to the pandemic's effect consequent restriction on economies worldwide; overall progress towards improvements in all facets of disposable incomes; the crucial nature of telecom industry - mobile, fixed-line, broadband, submarine cable services as a tool for work and satellite - has moderated school from home became evident, and received some support from governments

general assessment: Puerto Rico has a small telecom market which in recent years has been deeply affected by a combination of economic mismanagement and natural disasters; disasters, including two hurricanes which landed in late 2017 and an earthquake which struck in 2020 January 2020; these disasters caused considerable destruction of telecom infrastructure, leading which in turn led to market decline; US provided funds a marked decline in the number of subscribers for all services; compounding these difficulties have been a long-term economic downturn which encouraged many people not to rebuild resume telecom services after these were restored; after some delay; delay, the FCC in late 2019 issued an order relating to the release of funds to help rebuild telecom infrastructure; although Puerto Rico is a US territory it lags well behind the mainland US states in fixed terms of fixed-line and broadband penetration services; this is partly due to high unemployment rates (and consequently low disposable income) and lack poor telecoms investment in a market; the mobile market has been impacted by several mergers and acquisitions over the last few years; the activities of operator investment; multi-national telcoms enable large multinational telcos continue to impact the Puerto Rican market; operators have secured spectrum in the 600MHz and 3.5GHz bands, thus enabling them to expand the reach of LTE services and launch of services based on 5G; the growing number of submarine cables helps landing in Puerto Rico is helping to reduce costs and supports streaming drive down the cost of international telecom services, creating a demand for streaming content from abroad; the uptake of cloud-based applications for both business and cloud services; operator launched connectivity individuals is also creating a heightened demand for school children during pandemic (2020) affordable services (2021)
