Last September, Cuba s minister of communications Jorge Luis Perdomo gave an interview on internet access to the Russian state channel Russia Today. Asked if there were any politically-motivated reasons behind restrictions on internet access in Cuba, Perdomo smiled and replied that “there have never been any political motivations to block access to information to the Cuban population”. He added that “restrictions to Internet access in Cuba are due, only and exclusively, to the economic limitations we have faced”. Indeed, high-ranking Cuban officials usually justify internet access restrictions due to a lack of financial resources. Unlike other countries where direct investment in industry usually comes from big transnational capitals, Cuba’s investment is made solely through state-owned companies.
