Mobile phones were things which enterprising Cubans used to persuade people to bring in for them. I wonder if there will be any relaxation on the use of the Internet? Legislation was introduced 4 years ago making it necessary to have an official permit to be on line. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/3386413.stm
Even if you are one of the fortunate few, you have to be careful: http://opennet.net/research/profiles/cuba

'For a private citizen to have full illegal internet access in Cuba, the individual must have (1) a private telephone line (which is difficult to obtain), (2) an Internet access device, usually a personal computer with a modem, and (3) dial-in capability to the Internet for a monthly fee (about $35 per month). Private "black market" full internet access is one of the most rapidly growing areas of the underground Cuban economy. To offset this rapid growth of âblack market accountsâ or âaccount sharingâ to uncensored information by a private citizens, the Government of Cuba is placing more computers into public schools, opening and operating âCyberCafesâ (in Plaza de Armas and the Capitolio) and enabling widespread youth access to formal and Internet faciliated computer courses and a censored version of the Internet through universities, secondary schools, post offices and one hundred and fifty (150) socialist oriented, government supervised Youth Computer Clubs.'
Let's hope for better things very soon!
