Re: Hurricane Maria: Summary of communication status - and lack of

[Sean Donelan <sean () donelan com>]

As of this morning, the ILEC Claro is reporting

8 central offices have voice, data and long distance service operating, 
mostly in metro areas.  This does not include outside plant or local loops 
serving customers.

Central offices serving 55 of 78 municipalities have local voice service, 
no inter-office or long-distance service.  Again, not including the local 
loop to a customer.

27% of cell sites in service, mostly in the north and east parts of the 
island, operating.  I'm not sure if this is 27% of all cell sites on the 
island, or 27% of cell sites only in the north and east.

Other providers say they are working to restore service, but are not 
releasing specific data about their network status (AT&T, Open Mobile, 
Sprint, T-Mobile). Cable provider, LibertyPR, hasn't said anything to local 
reporters that I could find in any of the PR newspaper websites; and 
appears to be completely out of service.

There are several competitive providers and small providers I don't have 
information about in PR.  I just don't know the market.  If anyone has 
status about any small providers operating, let me know their status.
