2006 Internet annual report

2006 Internet annual report

Cuba

President Fidel Castro’s regime has long been good at tapping phones and
these days is just as skilled when it comes to the Internet. The Chinese
model of expanding the Internet while keeping control of it is too
costly, so the regime has simply put the Internet out of reach for
virtually the entire population. Being online in Cuba is a rare
privilege and requires special permission for the ruling Communist
Party. When a user does manage to get connected, often illegally, it is
only to a highly-censored version of the Internet.
