Cuba has announced that its citizens will be offered full internet access for mobile phones beginning this week, as one of the last nations to offer such a service.
President of the Cuban telecom monopoly ETECSA said yesterday that Cubans can begin contracting 3G services for the first time next Thursday. Until now, Cubans have only had access to state-run email accounts on their phones.
The communist governed island has one of the world’s lowest rates of internet use, but has been expanding rapidly since Presidents Obama and Castro declared detente in 2014.
