E-mail access curtailed for election day
in Santiago
SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cuba - April 19 (Jorge
Ramón Castillo, ICDPress / www.cubanet.org)
- All navigation through the national Intranet
has been suspended since Saturday due to
the municipal elections held on Sunday.
An employee at the only Intranet parlor
in the province explained that the service
provider cuts off the service to the population
every time there are elections or any politically-important
event in the territory.
Cubans pay 4.50 convertible pesos (4.50
dollars) for three hours of connectivity.
For that, they may access the Cuban Intranet
and may send e-mail abroad. Only foreigners
may access the wider Internet and have access
to other-than-Cuban web sites, usually from
a terminal set up in a hotel.
