Cuba Extends Internet To Mobile Phones, Promising New Access
It was only 10 years ago that the Castro government lifted its ban that prohibited regular citizens from buying computers. Today, phones are a key method of accessing the Internet in Cuba.
Cuba's state telephone company will allow mobile phone customers to use the Internet via a new 3G network, starting on Thursday. But as with previous tech advances in the island nation, only those who can afford it will be able to take advantage of the access — which remains under the control of the autocratic government.
Phones have emerged as a key method of accessing the Internet in Cuba. After that prohibited regular citizens from buying computers, and Internet access in private homes was rare before 2016.
