Due to a robbery of a copper line in the area of Aibonto, thousands of subscribers from Puerto Rico Telephone (PRT) were left with no mobile and long distance telephony service. Although they tried to render the service through an emergency system, the building of a park in that town caused the interruption of the service by cutting the optical fiber cable. Moreover, a failure in Aguadilla caused by earth works of the Autoridad de Energía Eléctrica (a Power Company) affected the wireless transmission antennas of Claro, AT&T, Sprint and Centennial.
