Ahern Leslie Paul Machado NIXON PEABODY LLP 401 Ninth Street, NW - Suite 900 Washington, DC 20004 (202) 585-8321 Its Attorneys July 31, 2006 10058424.3 Summary The Telecommunications Regulatory Board of Puerto Rico ("Board") hereby replies to the Opposition of America M6vil, S.A. de C.V. and Verizon Communications Inc ("Applicants"). In their Opposition the Applicants once again fail to commit to any credible public benefit to Puerto Rico. Even the vaunted commitment to bring 3G to Puerto Rico is hobbled by two caveats, and the touted "economies of scale and scope" do not exist in the U.S. wireline market, where America M6vil has no other operations. Further, it is reasonable to suppose that America M6vil's preferred solution to penetration challenges will be to abandon the wireline infrastructure in favor of investment in wireless. But this will have a severely negative impact on developing competition in Puerto Rico. The legal standard relied upon by the Applicants does not require "absolute certainty" or "iron-clad" commitments, but it does require some credible public interest benefit. In this case, there is none. Consequently, the Commission should impose conditions to remedy the failings of the Applications. These conditions should consist of reasonable and achievable performance measures designed to assure quality of service to Puerto Rico consumers and competitors and specific commitments on infrastructure investment to improve telephone penetration as well as for its expansion, improvement and modernization.

  • List of Hispanic Medal of Honor Recipients 1 List of Hispanic Medal of Honor Recipients
    List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients 1 List of Hispanic Medal of Honor recipients The Medal of Honor was created during the American Civil War and is the highest military decoration presented by the United States government to a member of its armed forces. The recipient must have distinguished themselves at the risk of their own life above and beyond the call of duty in action against an enemy of the United States. Due to the nature of this medal, it is commonly presented posthumously.[1] Forty-three men of Hispanic heritage have been awarded the Medal of Honor. Of the forty-three Medals of Honor presented to Hispanics, two were presented to members of the United States Navy, thirteen to members of the United States Marine Corps and twenty-eight to members of the United States Army. Twenty-five Medals of Honor were presented posthumously.[2] The first recipient was Corporal Joseph H. De Castro of the Union Army for Reverse of the Medal of Honor awarded his actions at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on July 3, 1863, during the American to Seaman John Ortega Civil War and the most recent recipient was Captain Humbert Roque Versace who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor on July 8, 2002, by President George W. Bush. Corporal De Castro was a member of the Massachusetts Infantry, a militia that was not part of the "regular" army; however, Private David Bennes Barkley was a member of the regular army during World War I and has been recognized as the Army's first Hispanic Medal of Honor recipient.[3] In 1864, Seaman John Ortega became the first Hispanic member of the U.S.
