Broadband Program

The Puerto Rico Broadband Program is created by the Government of Puerto Rico through the Executive Order 2021-40 and later amended by Executive Order 2024-008. The primary purpose of this program will be to coordinate, authorize and execute the disbursement of local and federal funds allocated to Puerto Rico for the construction of broadband infrastructure on the island. The Program developed a 5-year strategic plan which will ensure that funds are used within the established terms to do so and will ensure that the broadband infrastructure necessary to close the digital divide on the island is built promptly.y.

The Program will also be required to establish the necessary controls to ensure that the use of these funds is made in accordance with applicable regulations. The Program will be administered by an Executive Committee that will be composed of the Government's Chief Innovation and Information Executive, an official with decision-making power from the Telecommunications Bureau, the Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Finance and the Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Innovation, Information, Data and Technology.
