New Cuban Cell Phone Freedom Nets 7,400 Contracts in First Ten Days
Within the first ten days of the new, open cellular policy in Cuba, 7,400 cellphone accounts have been opened by regular Cuban citizens. The 7,400 contracts were opened for about $110 via Cuba's only (and state-owned) wireless provider, ETECSA. Handsets cost around $75 -- no cheap proposition when you consider that the average Cuban citizen's annual state salary is around $240. Previously, contracts could only be opened by government officials or foreigners. 7,400 is a tiny slice of Cuba's 11.4-million person population (.0006%), but it's a start. [Via textually.org]

Who else is saddened by the plight of these poor people? Somehow, it has touched me deeply at this moment...

I bet they have much better terms for their cell phone contracts than here in the US. How do I get there?????

How unimaginable is it for a government, theoretically of the people, with assumed heroes like Fidel and Che, not to let the masses have a cell phone. The American public needs to wake up to the fact that Fidel was/is a controlling tyrant and that Che was nothing more than a idealic revolutionary that Fidel eventually abandoned because he became larger an image than Fidel himself.

Another small step for an emerging nation. Perhaps America will extend a hand of friendship, without prejudice and personal ambitions. This may allow America's tarnished image to change and show who America really is and what America is really about. America might no longer be known as the tyrant of this world but as brother to all. Sometimes a small step in a small nation can change the world.
