“We have moment 135,000 subscribers without service, that represents 9% of our clients. We must be entering clients without service, so starting today when the boys start working we will be seeing how the lines will be replenished, ”said Fernando Padilla, director of the Office of Restructuring and Fiscal Affairs of PREPA at WKAQ 580.
