The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved $950 million in funding to improve, expand and harden communications networks in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands after communications infrastructure on the islands was devastated by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
Following the devastation two years ago, the FCC created the Uniendo a Puerto Rico Fund and the Connect USVI Fund, and to date, has provided about $130 million in additional, one-time Universal Service Fund support to assist with network restoration.
