U.S. Telecoms Eager to Build a Business Presence in Cuba - washingtonpost.com

The Cuban government has not been helpful in allowing its citizens access to communications technology, said David Gross, who was U.S. ambassador and coordinator for International Information and Communications Policy during the Bush administration. Now that the United States has opened the door, he said, "the question is whether the Cuban government will allow people to come inside."

About 11 percent of residents subscribe to land-line telephone service, and 2 percent have cellphone service.
