I would guess the dollar numbers represent the amount that they are
receiving in incentives and not the total cost of construction.

Maybe it *is* for wireless. That would be more likely with those numbers,
but still quite unbelievable.

My company does low voltage cabling. We charge more than $100 per drop to
provide CAT6 in a newly constructed office building. It would be impossible
to provide wires to 1.2 million locations across PR for $100/each.

Seems you could do something with Wireless much easier,
guaranteeing access to speed of +/- 300mbits by using the CBAND spectrum
that is coming available. Why run wires to the home at all?
