(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 04, 2013 ) Santa Fe Springs,CA -- According to measure enacted with its publication in the government’s Official Gazette, starting on June 4, the Cuban public will be allowed on the internet at public sites known as “cyber-salons” by setting up a temporary or permanent account with Etecsa for access to use a computer at one of the 118 centers across the nation.
Until now, the internet has been limited to places such as tourist hotels that charge a whopping $8 an hour for less-than-reliable Wi-Fi, foreign-run companies and some sectors of Cuban business and government. Residential dial-up accounts are rare and very restricted as part of the countryÂ’s censorship program.
According to government statistics, only 2.9 percent of Cubans say they have access to the internet, though outside observers are putting the numbers at closer to 10 percent, taking into account the underreported amount of people using internet where they shouldnÂ’t be. About 16 percent were able to go part way online via a domestic Intranet (a computer network that shares information within an organization) and email account, often through workplace or school hook ups or places such as computer clubs and tightly secured post offices.
Although some residents are excited about the new opportunity, many of them are not. The new cyber-centersÂ’ price for an hour of web surfing is $4.50, a stiff fee for most islanders who make an average of just $20 a month.
Even for those who have been given access to the worldwide web, the government blocks sites such as pornography and those that project politically objective content. Whether the new cyber-centers will block these sites is unclear, and none of the national newspapers are reporting on the issue.
