>From one of my colleages that has a decent sized WISP in Puerto Rico. 

" Guys, we are ok, network hurt pretty bad… will need help " 

There are a bunch of WISPs waiting to go rebuild, but waiting for the clearance to do so.

It looks like they're still online via Critical Hub Networks and Columbus Networks, but not Liberty.

The ILEC, Claro, is reporting all 24 central offices in Puerto Rico are 
now operating on generators, and maintaining re-fueling operations. 

The CO's in the (San Juan?) metro area have voice, data and long distance 
service including to the mainland. 

The CO's elsewhere in Puerto Rico have only local voice service. The 
offices are isolated, with no long distance or inter-office data service. 

Although the CO's are operational, substantial outside plant is damaged. 
Which means most subscribers do not have service. Inter-office facilities 
outside the (San Juan) metro area are damaged, which means people with 
service in those areas can only make local calls. 

Wireless sites are still being evaluated. The Puerto Rico Transportation 
Department is providing road crews to clear/rebuild roads and escort 
cellular providers repair convoys to remote cell sites. 

The Puerto Rican government has not re-established communications with 
officials in the following municipalities: Aibonito, Jayuya, Lajas, 
Mayaguez, Quebradillas, Rincón, Sabana Grande, Vieques and Villalba.
