In Cuba, mystery shrouds fate of Internet cable

[Bacchus4.0]

1. very interesting, I recall hearing that the embargo was the reason

for the restricted internet access in Cuba and this would "liberate" Cuba.

this is interesting in a sorry sort of way:

A senior French official told AP that Alcatel had upheld its part of the contract and whatever problems exist must be on land with the network it was meant to be attached to.

"The cable must be connected to something or it won't work," said the official, who also spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the politically sensitive project.



the article then postulates that the Cuban government is reassessing allowing their citizens to have greater and faster access to the net after the Arab Spring of last year. they don't want a Cuban spring.
