An extension will enable 03b to continue providing service in Puerto Rico, where a majority of the terrestrial cellular infrastructure remains out of service.A Grant of this extension request will serve the public interest by allow O3b‘s customer to continue to provide internet connectivity throughout its Puerto Rican facility.
