The executive director of the Smart Island program, Enrique A. Völckers-Nin, reminded citizens that it is available through smartisland.pr.gov/survey, the Internet Service Survey that will allow us to know the needs of people in terms of Internet use in their homes.

‍
The survey also serves to know and identify the specific needs of citizens, such as whether the person has an Internet connection in their homes, the download speed of the Internet connection, skills in online activities such as using a computer or tablet, carrying out government transactions online, knowing what information is safe to share online, and others, and identifying what people in Puerto Rico primarily use the Internet for.

“At this early stage of the program, it is important to define what the specific needs of each municipality are. For this reason, it is necessary to identify, through citizens, those key points that allow us to continue with the development of the five-year Strategic Plan required by the Broadband Program, which will ensure that the funds allocated to Puerto Rico are used within the established terms and will ensure that the broadband infrastructure necessary to close the digital divide on the island is built promptly,” said the assistant secretary of the Government for Innovation, Information, Data and Technology.
