Cuba has just 119 INTERNET CAFES in the entire country for public access. Lagos alone has how many again?

Frustrated with your Internet access? Try logging on in Cuba.

Since it started offering limited access in 1996, the communist country has tightly restricted access to everything but the bare Web essentials. Unless you were looking for government news or something directly related to your job, you were out of luck.

But now news comes that the government is inching toward wider access. In the Official Gazette, the government said it would provide access to the Internet – including e-mail and international websites – at 119 providers across the Caribbean island starting in June 2013.

Will a handful of Internet cafes in each major city across the island of 11 million make much of a difference in a country where connecting to the Internet is notoriously slow and difficult?

It won’t be cheap. Providers will ask users to fork over the equivalent of $4.50 (702 Naira) per hour for access.

Most Cubans make around $20 (3,120 Naira) a month.

U.S sites criticizing the Cuban government are still blocked. If you want to browse, you must sign an agreement stating you won't do anything to jeopardize the Cuban's economy or sovereignty.

The price to browse in Cuba is much higher than just money, It could cost one his/her life. What we take for granted others pay dearly for it.

The 118 new hotspots might not mean much to most Cubans. But, as one Cuban housewife told a radio station after the announcement, “something is better than nothing.”  

When you begin to learn to appreciate little, much is sure to come your way soon. Happy for them, despite everything, they have their attitude RIGHT.
