Algunos de ustedes se acuerden de este noticiero nde la BBC en Ingles del 2003.  Aqui nada hablava nada del bloqueo, ni embargo, si no que simplemente el govierno decidio CrackDown on.  Nada silencio, todo en que paso? nadie sabia, tan solo se podia especular y el regimen de Cuba decidio dejar la gente en blanco. Mucha preguntas se hicieron, y nadie tenia contesta.  Comos us antiguos amigitos la Union Soviety en su mejor forma no decia ni cojos sobre porque hicieron la regulacion, y pocos hasta conosimos de que regulacion se hablava. Nada sombre el embargo de no dejar el cable optico, nada de uso de Satelite y su consto............................ pocos sabiamaos algo..  Habia hasta abseso en el mecado negro, porque la gentes me supongo que estavan ambriento por informacion...... como todo los otros ciudadanos del mundo.

Last Updated: Sunday, 11 January, 2004, 07:53 GMT   E-mail this to a friend Printable version Cuba cracks down on internet use    Cuba's licensed internet terminals are meant only for tourists A new law has been passed in Cuba which will make access to the internet more difficult for Cubans.  Only those authorised to use the internet from home like civil servants, party officials and doctors will be able to do so on a regular phone line.  The bill says the state telephone company Etecsa will use technical means to detect and impede access.  Correspondents say the law will affect thousands of Cubans who access the  worldwide web from their homes.  It took effect on Saturday, according to a letter sent by Etecsa internet service E-net to customers.  The government says the move is necessary to "regulate dial-up access to internet navigation services, adopting measures that help protect against the taking of passwords, malicious acts, and the fraudulent and unauthorised use of this service".  Black market  The Cuban Government passed a decree last year that the internet could only be accessed using a more expensive telephone service charged in US dollars, not generally available to ordinary Cubans.  E-net customers who do not have the dollar phone service can still access the internet legally by buying special cards at Etecsa offices.  Some Cubans also can use international email and a government-controlled intranet at work and in schools.  But until now many people have been using computers and internet accounts borrowed or bought on the black market, and it is they who will be affected by the new law.  Blackout  The previous system allowing access to the web granted many Cubans a rare opportunity to observe western media and news reports.  Global television news channels are only available at luxury hotels which are off limits to Cuban citizens.  It is feared that as well as "blacking out" this window on the world, the new move to further limit web access could also damage Cuba's main source of foreign revenue: the tourism industry.  Thousands of ordinary Cubans have relied on the internet to advertise private accommodation for foreign tourists.

De ahora en adelate habia que pagar con Maria Dollares. Y si leen los dos articulo el acceso era en Hoteles Lujoso de la Burgesia de otros paises cual tenia aceso pero ningun cuiudadano. Se hablava de una Ley or Regulacion cubana, pero nadie que yo me acuerde en esos tiempo la publicacion no estava para leer.

Cuba law tightens internet access

Stephen Gibbs BBC News, Havana   The new law makes it impossible for many Cubans to access the internet from their homes The Cuban Government is tightening its control over internet access. A new law coming into force on Saturday makes it impossible for many Cubans to dial up the internet from their home telephone lines.  The move has been criticised by the human rights group Amnesty International.  Cuba says that, given its limited resources, it needs to ensure that the internet is primarily used for the social good.  Dollar access  The move clamps down on the thousands of Cubans who illegally access the internet from their homes.  From now on, it will not be possible to dial up the main government server from most domestic phone lines.  Only lines which are paid for in dollars will have direct access. These are usually restricted to foreigners.  Amnesty International says this is an attempt to shield Cubans from alternative views.  All news media in Cuba is rigorously state-controlled and supportive of Fidel Castro's government.  'For the common good'  But the Cuban government has reacted angrily to suggestions that the change amounts to censorship.  It says it is doing nothing more than preventing overused internet connections being clogged up by people borrowing, or selling each other passwords.  The internet should be for the common good, it says, pointing out that it will still be available in schools and workplaces.  Dissident groups have expressed doubt that the authorities here can control the internet as much as they might wish.  It is true that whenever a new law comes into effect here, Cubans - who are famed for their inventiveness - tend to find a way around it.
