Cuba has an Internet penetration of 1 to 3 percent; making it the lowest rate in Latin America and one of the lowest in the world. The Internet in Cuba has stagnated since its introduction in the 1990s because of the U.S. embargo, lack of funding, and government interaction. The Cuban internet is also among the most tightly controlled in the world [link to en.wikipedia.org] |

I just find it weird how such an event wasn't bought up during Wednesday morning on Cuba news. It could have happened but I wonder if some people/state media are just exaggerating a daily bolide to make it 'fit in' with Friday's event. |
