About a year ago, the young people in Cuba already knew that the cable was laid, but were already very skeptical that it would ever be in operation. It's disheartening to read that they were right, for now. A number of positive changes have taken place in Cuba over the last couple years, but none that might be as consequential as offering low-cost internet. I believe that the government overestimates the "danger" in this -- the people just want to use facebook on their phones.
