Imagine: Cuba

13. Yeah..."huge reports from the UN!"

Who knew the UN was running around measuring bandwidth? I couldn't help but notice that you AVOIDED providing any proof that any "groups" within the UN "say" Cuba has "no problem" with internet access. Because I don't think they ever said that. And if they did (and I doubt they did), yes, I DO have the better overview--as does any literate person reading the newspapers.

You're grasping at straws, you know, when you deny something that is OBVIOUS to the entire world, and has been covered in newspapers from left to right to center. The lack of adequate internet access in Cuba is plain and simple FACT.

Do you think that Americans would put up with paying five bucks an hour for something on the high end of dial-up speed? Never mind that a minimum wage worker in America can make in three hours what a government worker in Cuba makes in a month.

The Internet in Cuba is among the most tightly controlled in the world.[2] It is characterized by a low number of connections, limited bandwidth, censorship, and high cost.[3] The Internet in Cuba stagnated since its introduction in the 1990s because of lack of funding, tight government restrictions, the U.S. embargo, and high costs. Starting in 2007 this situation began to slowly improve. In 2012, Cuba had an Internet penetration rate of 25.6 percent.[4] Recently, many in Cuba have been able to circumvent government restrictions using satellite cell phones, many of which are paid for by friends and relatives abroad.[citation needed]
