Cuba authorizes internet access to all citizens



Have only the Spanish version so far. English versions should show up later.


Por BBC MUNDO
Las autoridades cubanas aprueban legalmente el uso de internet para todos los ciudadanos, según se desprende de una resolución firmada por el Comandante de la Revolución Ramiro Valdés, Ministro de la Informática y las Comunicaciones.

La medida implica un cambio de política del gobierno, que hasta ahora había limitado la red a un uso social, dando acceso sólo a instituciones, empresas, y a un pequeño grupo de poco más de 100.000 personas, entre ellos intelectuales y científicos.

Desde hace algunas semanas ya se había autorizado el acceso de los cubanos a los “Cibercafé” de los hoteles, donde podían conectarse a internet haciendo uso de las computadoras del lugar o de la propia, utilizando el sistema inalámbrico o WIFI.

1. This seems to be incorrect, permission was given last year
as far as I know. Cubans including Yoani Sanchez were able to pay to use internet at hotels and she wrote about this.

I think that it's more of a fine point in that there will be more access and it will be free or very cheap or something.
