Reply #33: Limited resources and connections.

[Mika]

Cuba has limited connections to the backbone of the www. Partially due to the Helms-Burton law.

Connections are prioritized to health care, education, and government use. The decree you mention is the so called crackdown on black market accounts that crowd out and slow Cuba's limited www access.


Cubans can go to the library and use the internet there, or pay (pesos) to use internet kiosks. A reason that Cubans don't have home internet access is because it is expensive. All Cubans have free internet and email access at their local library or CDC office.




Edit: added the word "home" for clarification.
