FYI Starlink just raised prices in the DR From 2,900 per month to 3,400 per month regular/residential The lite version stays in the 2,400 pesos per month Users in DR received an email confirming the price increase.

7 months later, update @windeguy @drstock @cavok @JD Jones. It will be next to the small Playero, at Calle Duarte.

Compared to the old Pola, it's an improvement. Similar experience from the ones Sirena Market in Santo Domingo. IMO.

Nobody predicted having a massive increase population in the South region 5 years ago. Yet that's where majority of brands are moving: - Bravo in Bani, San Cristobal - Sirena in Barahona, San Juan, Azua In those cities, no big box store was available and yet to have to drive to Santo Domingo...

No public insight on this. Those numbers are managed privately between them. Retail business hasn't been transparent like in US or the rest of LATAM to publicly share that kind of information. No even at the Associations or Chamber of Commerces nationwide.

That's a huge problem for Sirena: consistency among all their stores. The ones in Santiago are great, but not so in POP. But when you go to the new revamped Sirena Market in Sosua (old Super Pola) it's the type of experience you get in high density urban areas of DR.

Remember, they operate Aprezio (low income, low cost warehourses) Sirena Market (for small upscale middle class environments) and Sirena (major big store) and if you notice, there's plenty of space in regions like the South and the East. If you sum that, it might be reaching on the numbers...

Mucha espuma, poco chocolate All hat, no cattle All bark no bite Saw the pics from the "Moto Forum" in LinkedIn. Too much theory and fancy suits which is totally opposite what the heat of the asphalt and no respecting the road rules and behaviour happens everyday. It's all about education and...

Indeed, and you'll enjoy the view from Oviedo to Pedernales and how bad the road is there. The Gov have kept silent after years heavily promoting local tourism to that area, after the collapse (the cliff) of the road to Pedernales months ago. Of course, the cruiseport is finished and the AI...

Sorry, didn't notice, lol!

It's a great option but he'll have to drive 5 hours to be there (from Uvero Alto)

I already explained this to @cavok, @SKY. This 2% isn't view by consumers. Instead is a charge made to merchants via credit card processors, mandated by DGII since 2004.

please see the graphic the DGII posted @cavok they explain it in a very simple way.

It's in all debit/credit transactions. This is a info for merchants. Customers don't see it visible on their final invoice. The 2% is an "anticipo tax" that's paid automatically in every transaction directly to the DGII and managed through the credit card processors.

No. It started as a rumor by digital news sites (not official ones without a formal source on Monday). And then the DGII had to make a press release today confirming that they've been doing it for 20 years. No enforcement whatsoever. This is already automatic done by all credit card processors...

It's nationwide problem. Sadly, there isn't a centralized/nationwide institution in charge of this so that's on dependency of every city hall/inapa/or acqueduct service in each province/city.

The 2% fee isn't new. It's been for 20 years. I have a client (retailer) that he receives its CC statement from Cardnet, and they already deducted from its Visa/Mastercard sales every month, alongside the 5% merchant fee from Cardnet and the taxes from it for the Gov. The ones who started...

Today's news, and this is just in Santiago. The same ones who build stuff in the country said we have 19 bridges under red alert to be repaired asap. Lmao.

True. And this is probably a 30-45 year old bridge. And the rest of small villages nationwide have this similar lifespan, even more. Remember the one in Salcedo-La Vega . Took 3 years to make a new one and was one of the oldest Truss bridges left in the country. And we're talking a small...
