Cuba : Can You Hear Me Now? Cubans to Get Cell Service

Seems that the "new" Cuba under Raul Castro is allowing some access to technology while denying others. A week ago Cubans were allowed to buy electronic items like televisions and microwaves. Today a decree allows ordinary Cubans to have cell phones, a privilege before afforded to those who worked for foreign firms or held key posts with the communist-run state.

Before this decree, Cubans would access cell phones by having foreigners sign contracts for them.
