Cuban Computers "Allowed"

By Joseph Hunkins at May 03, 2008 0 Comments

The Cuban government will finally allow citizens to own computers and cell phones as a result of reforms by new President Raul Castro after assuming the reigns of power from his brother Fidel Castro. AP Reports CNET Reports

However, internet access is not yet allowed at home unless you are certain party officials or reporters, and it is unclear how long that rule will remain in effect, although apparently black market computers, phones, and access have been available for some time.

Ironically the first computers on sale in Cuba are actually more expensive than they would be in the USA, possibly suggesting a market for enterprising entrepreneurs who can navigate the intricacies of Cuba’s tightly controlled, centralized economy.
