 new mobile core in Puerto Rico, which when built, will be virtualized, and redundant. These redundant network elements will be connected by our owned and operated diverse submarine cable routes with automatic alternate routing. Across all our mobile operations we continually strive to improve our network performance by commissioning annual competitive performance benchmarking studies and undertaking customer experience improvement programs. In Puerto Rico and USVI, we are a part of the national US Firstnet (Emergency/First Responders) network, which necessitates above-average network resilience and other customer performance requirements, subject to governmental penalties for non-compliance.

Content

Content is one of the key drivers for customers in selecting a provider of video, broadband and/or wireless services. Therefore, we aim to provide products that allow our customers to consume content whenever and wherever they want and feature content that matters the most to our customers. Our programming strategy is based on:

•product (enabling access through home and mobile screens at anytime, including live, catch-up, restart with the ability to pause programming, personal recording, on-demand and internet streaming apps);

•proposition (meeting our customers’ content and entertainment expectations by offering access to a wider range of channels and on-demand content, and internet streaming services at affordable and competitive price points);

•partnering (alliances with content partners and leading distributors to aggregate the best linear, on-demand and streaming content); and

•variety (expanding the content offering from video to other categories and creating an ecosystem across music, sports, retail, culinary, fitness etc. through the convenience of our products, broadband and wireless connectivity services).

Except for Flow Sports and Flow 1 services, that we operate, in the Caribbean, and the Rush sports channel operated by a joint venture with the Digicel Group, we license our programming and on-demand content through distribution agreements with third-party content providers, including broadcasters, leading cable networks and major Hollywood studios. For such licenses, we generally pay a variable monthly fee on a per subscriber basis, through multi-year programming licenses. In our distribution agreements, we seek to include the rights to offer the licensed channels and on-demand programming to our authenticated customers through multiple delivery platforms including through our apps for IP-connected mobile and/or fixed devices, and our websites. We also acquire rights to make available, in most of our markets, video services to mobile subscribers and broadband subscribers that are not subscribers to fixed TV services. 

With respect to rights for the sports and entertainment services we operate directly or in a joint-venture in the Caribbean, we
