You owe me one, Chinese Ma!

For Isidro Estrada *

We just left the Chinese Ma Angel ** Argudín Ma has bowed to the human habit of dying, if the aggravating it at the wrong time when he had much to say. In Beijing, the capital of China who so loved, I light a stick of incense and pray for his memory. That his memory does not fade as the incense.

For many Cubans, the Chinese name of Ma will forever be synonymous with prisms, one TV spot in the 80's, once a week and about to close the day repositioning the documentary genre that always deserved pedestal both Cuban production, like much of what was then being done in other latitudes. The Chinese scored a point, proposing that breath of fresh air amid the throes of stagnation so prevalent in our small screen.

thanked often go to bed wearing as last images in the pupil the short those with whom Ma helped us discover the world. And to be better. So I started to admire him.

Maybe that's why, when by accident we met in person, sharing a couch in the cultural office of China Embassy in Havana, I readily agreed it was him. But as good Cubans, a few minutes we were tied to the conversation, with an air of lifelong neighbors.

Since that meeting I began to understand that Angel Ma, as well as talented filmmaker and critic of the audiovisual, was a gentleman. I hinted at his manner and soft-spoken, logical inheritance of his Asian roots, and I have ratified subsequent exchanges. Like the time that with sharp trial, but not hurt, I said my attempt at documentary about Latin music in China had to give scissors, "because you have many endings." Then agree on several occasions, usually when he enlisted in film preservation projects on China's memory in Cuba, charged with his usual modesty and a Sony camcorder pre-Flood times.

Nothing stopped him in his endeavors, and the usual practical difficulties or the apathy of some people. In those days he had suffered a stroke that kept him long days in the hospital Calixto Garcia - apparent prelude then took him forever. And he told me bitterly that no one in all that trance TV had remembered him. Poor memory counselor who is right?

The last time I saw him in mid-2007, we sat face to sip Buccaneers Coppelia and dreams of doing something together, pursuing our shared interest in China, where he had filmed "Spring Dragon", and where I came shortly thereafter, after a labor contract. I lost track.

I know that months later he moved to Miami and there opened a school of Reiki healing energy, this oriental therapy with a veneer of religion has many followers today.

I do not know how successful

Chinese Ma has been using its power to save souls, but if used with the same skill with which he designed prisms, I bet you will have left many patients had recovered and thanked viewers.

yellow luggage: the drama of Chinese coolies were brought to Cuba

"A Cuban-Colombian, back in the nineteenth century was one of the agents is Chinese in Cuba." So he told Marta Rojas, Oscar Pino Santos, the first Ambassador of Cuba in China, one afternoon in 1967 when a sand storm originating in the Gobi Desert to Beijing lashed. This was the seed for the plot of the yellow bags (Editorial Letras Cubanas, 2009), the latest novel by the Cuban Marta Rojas. Another

winter afternoon, this time in 2010, Marta Rojas returned to Beijing and revealed the origins and singular argument luggage, a fictional story, set in the historical context of the trafficking of Chinese coolies and brought to America " contract "under conditions of semi-slavery. The book provides further evidence of the Chinese component, the third most significant Cuban nation.

The title is part of a string of symbols which employs Rojas. The author describes the "bulky baggage" of Nicolas Tanco Armero, main character in the novel: "... woven reeds and fibers, decorated in strong dyes that reproduce riverbeds, mountains, plants, birds on branches, village pond goldfish lotus and fruits in bowls of white jade. " Tanco luggage is perhaps more symbolic appeal to the argument of the novel: the trafficking of Chinese coolies, yellow-skinned humans, flexible body but not in mind, with a strong culture, cheated and uprooted of their environment.

What are the actual historical circumstances that serve as backdrop for the yellow luggage?

In the first half of the nineteenth century, Cuba was plunged into economic contradictions. Despite the abolition of the slave trade, the sugar industry demanded more slave labor. It was an extremely difficult situation. With the development of the industrial revolution and technological advances, England struggled against clandestine trade in slaves, with the aim of promoting the development of capitalism. The need paid labor force was evident. This situation influenced the overseas colonies struggled to develop and promote its domestic market. England stimulated recruitment of Asians as a palliative and thus began the yellow is the New World in 1842, Cuba and arrived in 1847.

How do I insert the characters in this context?

Nicolas Tanco Armero, merchant importer, with offices in London, New York and Hong Kong, representing the class that was engaged in the importation of coolies. In his role as facilitator of the shipment of coolies to the Chincha Islands, Peru, and Cuba. Tanco unfolds in patterns of deceit, simulations, bribes, pettiness, is associated with yellow.


Ni Fan Tanco begins to serve, where the trader was in Macao. He was a servant of birth. He had grown up around the atmosphere of hierarchies and intrigues of the Imperial Palace, educated in the Confucian precepts. Precisely with the wisdom and patience inherent in their culture, begins to live a new life, completely unknown.

Tanco interactions and provide evidence Ni Fan intercultural mix of stocks and contradictions ...

course, mixed with the black component. The Chinese coolie was a slave, free man-like 'hired'. And importers and Tanco, a modern version for that time of the slave trade. With this indispensable collection Brunilda represent black. It is more rebellious concubine Don Esteban, in my novel's Harem Oviedo, who fled. Checked In yellow, Brunilda is an arena and this time put in as Maroon healer. Around it, there is water instead of fire. Another coincidence connected with eroticism.

yellow luggage does not ignore the opium trade, is associated with Asian coolies. How do you approach this phenomenon in the novel?

was a fulfillment partner. Opium was one of the most ingrained habits in ancient China, and together with the export of coolies was a lucrative business. Opium was a guaranteed market in the California gold miners and the business, used as a subterfuge for the Chinese is also reflected in the novel.

What narrative possibilities offered inclusion of this historical reality?

Above all, blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality.

Any sort of magical realism?

Yes, hallucinatory vision of the character offers new approaches and readings. Enrich the speech, gives different shades, evocations that would not be justified without the opium.

yellow luggage is a recreation of a historical context from a fictional story. How does being faithful to the time and build believable characters and situations without Manichaeism?

After that conversation with Pino Santos, my project was on hold due to my work as a war correspondent in Vietnam. Passed after years of searching, research, and simultaneously work for my other novels. I spent a year reading Confucius. Its precepts I provided moral understand more about the Chinese and building a Fan Ni, my most beloved character in the novel.

conversation with Flora Fong, a result of the Chinese-Cuban mestizaje, I imagined the protagonist's speech cadence. She made me see the wonder of the strokes of Chinese characters. This novel is perhaps the most imaginative of all I have written. Look, Daniel García Santos, the editor, define my purpose here very well when he wrote on the back that dream and reality are indistinguishable . ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The seedlings of the narrator, at times omniscient as God Almighty, aimed at other times, characters' inner voice, and resources such as the inclusion of Confucian maxims, fragments of memories of Tanco, poems of the Tang Dynasty, are an excellent approximation to the share of "Chinese box", as another of the symbols novel structural.

With hilarity, from the colloquial, with attractive didacticism, Martha Rojas recreates scenarios, historical contexts, insert characters, evokes nineteenth-century China, and describes the yellow race is and how it was.

Sometimes I think that Fan is not one of those who daily encounter on the subway or in a mall in Beijing, and in my daily life on many occasions I am in the position of "cultural clash" of Tancredi and his servant. Human conflicts are the same, only confined to various historical situations, the author urges us throughout his work.

yellow luggage us to the crystallization of the Cuban, a process that is a mix of Creole, the black, the Chinese, not to mention the approaches on the English and English components Marta Rojas gave in his earlier novels .

met Marta Rojas's work when he was a teenager and got my hands on a copy of The Cave of the dead, where she recreated events after the assault on the Moncada barracks and the whole history of the town of Siboney, Santiago de Cuba, where he spent part of my childhood. So I was surprised how the woman told a series of historical events and dialogues used, put into the mouths of the protagonists.

rediscovered the cave ... when I reread it while researching the history of radio from Santiago, and the book gave me many clues on various stations, including CMKR .

One afternoon in Beijing, I was, microphone in hand, interviewing women that went beyond "the Moncada journalist, war correspondent in Vietnam, novelist, teacher interview at the University of Havana ... evaded the rush, talk, laugh, was patient with changes in battery for my tape recorder and brought that" touch of Cuba "that was missing from the winter of this great capital.

Chinese Theatre in Cuba: "The Return of the Divas"

They refer to the chronicles of the past that the Chinese theater in Cuba dating back to 1873 when a group of Mariot was maipulado for "Chinese had very good singing voice. "The work was presented at a local street and St. Nicholas Trench, in Havana's Chinatown. Different

migration led the Chinese to the largest of the Antilles. And so came the different operators in the Asian nation.

traditional Chinese opera kept the relationship of immigrants and their descendants with the traditions and customs of his country and Cuba led to the introduction of elements of the ancient art of China through their dances, music and dramatic elements novels, stories and old legends.

Cantonese opera was an integrating element of immigrants and their mongrel offspring. These groups were essentially Cuban Chinese theater companies. Cubavisión

International has "The Return of the Divas" by Angel Ma Argudín, the well-known producer of prisms, and here I leave as an evocation of the past and a warning about Chinese-Cuban tradition that we are losing.

Why Exile March Against the "Lock"

Why Exile March Against the "Lock"
By: Danilo Josue Cardona (http://www.facebook .com / note. Php? Note_ id = 378278902998 & id = 1116124833 & ref = mf)

Apparently the desperation is such that the production of writings that seek to distort the reality that the vast majority of Cubans do not want the regime and calls for an end the outrage is at maximum. On the other side can understand the psychological blow of 100,000 or more Cubans present dressed in white and without obligation, marching for the rights must have been devastating for the spokesmen of the official policy of regime kicking say the problem is lock and release 5-atones.

short repeat information of all the reality of the embargo. If anyone wants to debate, discuss a particular point or all, but be specific and stick to comment, debate or differ from what I've written. Other Cubans who oppose the regime in Cuba, also call for the lifting of the embargo, because to them it is the regime who use it as an excuse. In my opinion, the gangster regime used as an excuse any event, person, or situation that will serve as an excuse to stay in power, and the embargo is no exception. I respect the opinion of these opponents, but from what I am sure of is that if the U.S. legitimizes Cuba's government, raising the seizure and bringing a favored nation status (like China), life for the opponents and dissidents will be as harsh and cruel to the Chinese opponents, who did not already know who they are. The Cuban government seeks legitimacy, seeks moral equivalence, and is not either, or of Americans, and more importantly, or the Cubans.

What you should know about the "lock"

1. First, no lock - no American fleet is preventing ships loaded with goods arrive at Cuban ports. A block is a military term and want to change your definition is a waste of time. U.S. blockade of Cuba when the crisis of October. And blocked to Haiti in 1994. Both were acts of war and military, that have nothing to do with trade embargoes such as Cuba, and like South Africa when apartheid.

2. What there is though - the U.S. sovereign decision not to trade with Cuba (the U.S. has its reasons) but for now let's say "do not want."

3. The third article of the Torricelli Act - which penalizes other states or international companies, and that requires you to decide if they trade with Cuba or with the U.S. (and leave the decision to these countries), has never been put in place by any president or a Democrat, or Republican (presidential discretion is).

4. Cuba has trade with Spain, Italy, France, China, Panama, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Chile, Africa, Israel, etc. And to your surprise, the same who is the 5th largest U.S. trading partner of the island.

5. The embargo does not include bans on humanitarian aid, medical aid, food, and communications including telecommunications. And it was the same Cuban government has impeded humanitarian who, because of natural disasters, from the U.S. and the Cuban community abroad. Not only that, but drugs that clearly say they are giving humanitarian, have resulted in pharmacies in Cuba to be resold at the same original people who were offered free.

6. The issue of the embargo is a sovereign decision of the U.S. and no international pressure will make the change. Also keep U.S. embargo with Iran, Sudan, North Korea, Zimbabwe, and a dozen other countries. All the propaganda of Cuba to the United Nations and countries of Europe sympathizers who failed to remove the embargo. By contrast the European Union has underlined its position condemning the Cuban government for its continued violation of human rights of its own citizens.

7. The U.S. embargo reasons are manifold: (1) The Cuban government expropriated property private (business, property, funds) of U.S. citizens in Cuba legally obtained without any compensation. The theft came to the amount of 20 billion, the biggest loss for the expropriation of a foreign government on U.S. citizens in U.S. history (2) The Cuban government allied itself with the arch-enemy of the USA, to become hand puppet Black USSR and its subversive activities in Latin America primarily and elsewhere. (3) U.S. decided that contain the cancer which had become the Cuban Revolution to Cuba, through the denial of resources that gives the U.S. trade. For those who read Imagine a dictator with the cunning Fidel Castro and Hugo Chávez resources. (4) The embargo on Cuba did the USSR pay monetarily for your interest in the island since the Cuban regime to keep the Soviet Union cost him billions of dollars annually. (5) In all of these objectives of containment and cold war against the USSR (war in which parties chose Fidel Castro, was part and lost) the U.S. has succeeded.

8. If U.S. trade with Cuba and all other countries do in fact also what is the embargo? The embargo remains in (1) Denial of credits to Americans. Cuba has to pay cash, because they pay. You owe it to everyone. (2) Investments of any kind. In Cuba there is no rule of law that respects the investments of U.S. citizens or U.S. government. What prevents other expropriation? (3) The U.S. tourism. The richest and commercially viable in the world.

9. However, the U.S. Government for years has proposed conditions for the gradual lifting of the embargo, and none of these conditions has to do with the Cuban government grants the U.S. government, however, what the U.S. is required RESPECT the Cuban government to the Cubans. What steps should give Cuba? (1) to release all political prisoners of conscience (2) Respect human rights of the Cuban population - including the right of free expression, movement, assembly, religion, press, etc. (3) Allow the Cuban people their legitimate right to fine-partisan elections. These rights are all other countries in the world except those who are under a dictatorship - as in Cuba.

10. Besides all know that in Cuba constantly see doctors from the ETA terrorists, to Maradona, and medical services offered to the leaders, or tourists are not available to the Cuban people. What applies to medicine also applies to food, Who but the Cuban government itself prohibits Cubans produce for their own consumption, which produce for foreign consumption and export? All that verbiage to justify the utter failure of political-economic system is more Cuban monkey.

11. But let someone else answer better than me Cuban to Cuban reality in the island, my friend, Erik Jacob

is unfortunate also speak at this stage of an economic embargo against the island believe That only those who still live locked by the Iron Curtain in the Castro. We all know that is a lie but philosophical. American products have always come to foreign markets on the island, not the people. Millions of tons of food have entered the country and never admit that the American free enterprise .. Also, do not believe that if the Castroism is so allergic to the U.S. system. Americans need to make your people do not starve. There are many countries that have products or produced in America. Why not negotiate with the rest of the world and leave Americans alone? Perhaps the U.S. is to blame the Cubans do not have your table the rice, beans, meat, vegetables, meats, a pig, birds that are harvested in Cuba? Perhaps the U.S. is to blame for that Cubans have to take buses from buying Camels for Hungarian, Chinese, Russian, Czech or any other country?. Perhaps the U.S. is to blame Castro took to Cuba as a cup of gold and its fifty years later, the buildings are crumbling, unpainted and disrupted the streets, taking pictures and asphalt factories Nationwide?. Perhaps the U.S. is to blame for Cubans can not leave the country on vacation?. Perhaps the U.S. is to blame that Castro did not allow a Cuban to think freely and if you do not like Castro wants, he gets arrested?.

12. In conclusion, as Dorothy Fosdick says, "... in the way a government treats its own citizens ... is an indication of their intentions with the rest of the world." And so we can realize the intentions of the U.S., the intentions of the former USSR, China's intentions today, and the intentions of the Cuban government. Cuban tyranny not just bullying their own people, but supports those who bully other people, no matter their ideology or are far apart geographically and culturally, so the same supports Hugo Chavez, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (Iran), or Kim Jong-il (North Korea), or Hu Jintao and the Communist Party in China, no matter what they think while they are tyrants and enemies of the USA, the leading country of freedom in the world.

Thanks to the moral clarity of the Cuban community, nourished annually to Cubans who arrive in Cuba, the U.S. did not commit the same mistake it made with China Cuba - Unleashing the trade without requiring respect for human rights - and has remained in the same position he held against the Soviet Union, until Gorbachev came a made reforms. Totalitarian regimes require massive resources and energies to repress their people. As these do not produce these resources, because all they have is invested in repressing, need business partners to which suck and / or extortion, not to give any benefit to their people, their people will always live in economic misery and the to lie because the truth is rationed to keep them in power.

Cuba and Venezuela " modern slavery "Omara Portuondo

Seven Cuban doctors claim to Cuba and Venezuela on "modern slavery" http://globovision.com/news.php?nid=141156


Seven doctors and a nurse Cubans demanded that Cuba, Venezuela and PDVSA for alleged conspiracy to force them to work in conditions of "modern slaves", in return for Cuba's debt with the Venezuelan state oil supply.

Defendants "intentionally and arbitrarily" placed the health professionals in "debt bondage" and they became "economic slaves" and promoters policy, the statement of claim filed in the U.S., which had access Efe.

The lawsuit was filed Friday in federal court in Miami (USA) by doctors Julio Cesar Lubian, Ileana Mastrapa, Majfud Miguel, Maria del Carmen Milanes, Frank Vargas, John Doe and Julio Cesar Dieguez, and the nurse Osmani Rebeaux.

with legal action, which was assigned to Judge Patricia A. Seitz, plaintiffs seek compensation that exceeds $ 50 million, said Pablo de Cuba, one of the defense.

"We set a precedent for the liability of states over their citizens. This is a conspiracy willful default, and these governments and business to submit to forced labor and debt bondage to these doctors, "said Paul.

In the lawsuit, the lawyer Leonardo Canton Aristides, who leads the defense argued that the plaintiffs went to Venezuela under the "deception" and "threats" and were forced to work unlimited hours in the mission "Barrio Adentro", in areas with a high rate of criminal and political offenses, including jungle areas and the "belligerent" border with Colombia.

"Barrio Adentro" is a program in which the Government uses Cuban and Venezuelan doctors to provide health services in poor areas of the country.

The presence of health professionals in the nation is possible through the comprehensive agreement of cooperation signed between Cuba and Venezuela in 2000 and modified and expanded in 2004.

The agreement provides that Havana Venezuela will send health professionals to exchange for 100,000 barrels of oil supplied by PDVSA.

Some of these professionals were killed, injured and raped several doctors, according to the lawsuit.

Canton said the two nations have set free innocent people under conditions of forced labor, debt bondage and serfdom, "a modern version of slavery."

Both countries, according to counsel, have joined in a conspiracy unprecedented in modern history, with the exception of the slavery of Nazi Germany, the use of forced labor.

also stressed that "the agreement of the governments of Cuba and Venezuela is a blatant conspiracy comparable to the slave trade in colonial America."

The Venezuelan government pursues an intimate, capture and return to Cuba to make doctors and other health professionals who refuse to perform forced labor or try to obtain his freedom to leave the country, according to court documents.

The plaintiffs said they were living in overcrowded homes rented houses or people affected by the Venezuelan regime, while working without a license to practice medicine in the Andean nation violating the laws of that country.

Doctors and nurses were subdued by security officials of Cuba and Venezuela to strict monitoring and control of their movements, their relationships, as well as being intimidated and coerced, according to the lawsuit.

The plaintiffs managed to escape and reach the United States, a country that granted them visas.

This would be the second lawsuit for alleged "modern slavery" that stands in a Miami court.

In October 2008, a judge ruled that the yard Curacao Drydock Company was compensated with $ 80 million to three Cubans who claimed they were sent by Cuba to work in the repair of ships and offshore platforms Curacao under "inhumane and degrading" to pay debts.

Lawyers said at the time that the decision represented the "first time a U.S. court blamed a company trading with Cuba for forced labor and human rights abuses incurred in concert with the Cuban regime .

dollars needed as the air we breathe. At that time, the country was in the special period. People were hungry and rafters in the thousands. Cuba threatened to become the Caribbean North Korea. It was a pot about to explode. So much misery, caused the popular pop Maleconazo known as the August 5, 1994.

And Castro, who has no hair fool, knew that something must be done if he wanted his government was adrift. He released the self-employment, agricultural markets and allowed opened business with foreign companies.

These measures have made possible the emergence of ECTESA. Then when he turned Mexican Dome back in mid-1995 an Italian group, became involved in the business. But we had to roll up their sleeves. The work was arduous. Cuban communications were in the age of prehistory.

Before the arrival of Castro to power in 1959, and mobile communications were in the hands of U.S. companies. They were efficient and modern. And he predicted that the number of telephones per capita grew so unusual in major cities. According to a statistical yearbook of the time, in 1958 Cuba ranked third in population over the phone, with 28, second only to Argentina, with 17 and Uruguay, with 25.

But with his radical revolution, Castro nationalized all U.S. property. One of the first was the Cuban Telephone Company, operated on 3 March 1959. When the Eisenhower administration in 1960 imposed a trade embargo on Cuba (the embargo was imposed in February 1962), the Phone different plants began to languish due to lack of spare parts. In the Soviet Union, Hungary, Yugoslavia and East Germany started to buy components and equipment. Usually outdated and of poor quality.

telephony maintained its numbers to a minimum. Barely grew in the period between 1966 and 1994. The plants were analog telephone and the lower shower or lightning, thousands of phone pairs fell into inactivity. Then, there was little money needed to modernize the local telephony.

Sure, the Italians were not fools. Iban to invest their money in the only existing telecommunications in Cuba. They had no rival. And if two million Cubans scattered through the world, especially in the United States, who at the weekend, eager and wistful, used to call their relatives on the other side.

and got down to work. At first, the Cuban government gave the Italians a 49 percent in company stock. Then it decreased to 29 percent. Meanwhile, all the plants were digitized telephone in the country. Infrastructure was upgraded outdoor plants. And in general, were implanted technologies appropriate to the times.

If in 1998 Cuba was able to connect to the Internet, was partly thanks to the group Italian investor, who also entered the mobile country. Another achievement was the ostensible improvement of working conditions of workers. While in 1995 the people went hungry and the island was falling apart, ETECSA employees were assigned dollar 1.50 for lunch daily. In addition, healthy snacks and crates (bags) with toiletries, which in 2004 ousted Carlos Lage were removed, with the tired excuse that increased the gap with the rest of the workers.

With Silver Italian businessmen, ECTESA was modernized and expanded service in arrow. Of 6.3 telephones per 100 inhabitants was in 1996 in Havana, rose to 18.5 in 2009. It is still a low figure compared with other Latin American nations. But the reality is that in thirteen years, the capacity is tripled. Another reality is that European investors, the rogue state dollars was paid in salary empleomania.

For example, an engineer or specialist, the employer disbursing $ 2,000 to the government so that it will pay the employee part, which could be half or a third party. But it is known that the Cuban regime hates it when people have money and be "rich." And in a new kind of slavery of them remunerated with 600 pesos in national currency and 35 CUC convertible currency. Es decir, un total de 60 dólares, de 1.000 o 600 dólares que supuestamente debería devengar como salario.

Los mejor pagados de Cuba

De cualquier manera, a pesar deldescarado robo estatal, los empleados de ETECSA, junto a los de del Instituto de Aeronáutica Civil, son los mejores pagados de Cuba. Por su contubernio con los Castro en esta explotación laboral, la empresa italiana recibió numerosas criticas de organismos internacionales y medios de prensa. Claro, se hicieron de oídos sordos. Las cajas registradoras rebosaban. El negocio marchaba.

Pero como casi siempre sucede cuando se hacen negocios con sociedades totalitarias, donde son los gobernantes y no empresarios privados quienes controlan the performance of a corporation, in early 2009, and Italian investors were not viewed favorably by its native partner.

La Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba is an emporium of 16,000 workers who consume fuel resources and so outrageous. And the lack of controls, typical in centrally planned economies, maintain any business is like throwing money into a black hole. Ladino so one could think that European investors had already left the shed assembly. Then, little feet to the street. And the Italians had to make their packages. ETECSA

generates profits of hundreds of millions in hard currency. Officials tried to call the company, for data in this regard. After asking in a tone of suspicion who spoke on the other side of the line, responded that such information was confidential. "The embargo, the Yankees, you know."

should not be an economist to do the math

But do not be an economist to do the math. And with the internet one can find that when the November 12 Miami federal judge, Alexander King, asked the Federal Court in New York the execution of the sentence against the frozen funds belonging to EmtelCuba for payment of 187 million dollars, money that the judge wanted to use as compensation to the families of the victims of the demolition of four planes of anti-Castro group in international waters by warplanes revolutionary air force, the Cuban Council of Ministers agreed to further expensive cost of calls to the U.S..

The world's most expensive calls

The decree-law number 213 of October 20, 2000, per minute call, the Havana government put a tax of 0.245 dollars to the users for connections telephone with the United States. In fact, calls from Cuba and from Cuba are the most expensive in the world. In a depressed economy like ours, the leaders struggle with rage when the greenback get the enemy. And when the only telecommunications company, ETECSA leaves a tasty slice.

Your future is not clear. Have tried similar agreements with China and Russia. Nothing has been finalized. It is known that the lack of liquidity of the Cuban economy makes it very difficult for any serious investment in the telecommunications industry. This could bring a return to what has been achieved in the country. Just one of the most dynamic sectors in the world.

Almost all hard currency that enters the cash registers ETECSA is mobile, that despite how expensive the service (a line is 40 cuc, three months' wages of a skilled worker) has grown rapidly after in 2008, Gen. Raul Castro allow Cubans to have cell phones. Also by way of international calls into the country several hundred million dollars or euros. For now, the company's workers have seen their wages reduced by way of stimulation in Cuban pesos.

Waiting for a partner who wants to do business with Castro, many Cubans wonder when internet will be a very expensive luxury (5 cuc time is cheap) and will lower tariffs for calls mobile phones. 2010 may give some answers. Otherwise, we will continue to Busy.
