Jose Rafael Vargas, president of Indotel, said the East-West Cable is just one of four projects aimed at fostering telecommunications development in the country, to make the most of new products for mobiles and digital TV. Indotel recently announced the DR would adopt the US standard.
Another optic fiber cable is under construction by Telecomunicaciones Gran Caribe, the Cuban-Venezuelan telecommunications firm supported mainly by ALBA (Alianza Bolivariana para los pueblos de Nuestra America) and involves laying 1,630 km of cable by spring of 2011.
