The telecommunications company Altice guarantees its commitment to the development of the Dominican Republic, very specifically with the Government's strategy to promote the Digital Republic, for which it has the necessary capacity in fiber optics as well as a greater offer of megas and new services focused on the education of the population and modern applications for companies.
The Altice Group, after the merger of the providers of telecommunications services Orange and Tricom, will present to the market novel initiatives that will lower the cost of the internet, promoting its use for all applications with a high quality.
All this, thanks to the use of parables and the reunification of the network, for which a Triple Play package will be offered throughout the country, said here the CEO of Altice, Martin Roos, participating in the Breakfast of List DAILY.
During the meeting, Roos assured that the company "already has the correct satellite", to which the HD image is added with the satellite cable solution. He also indicated that the cost of installing a parabola starts at RD $ 599, without taxes.
Accompanying Roos were the senior business directors of Altice Dominicana, Eury Vásquez; Communications senior and Altice Dominicana brand, Tammy Reynoso; and Public Relations, Liza Arzeno.
The CEO of Altice emphasized that the company will continue to focus on increasing Internet speeds at home, "with more exclusive content in the cable television offer."
