Oh thats cool so there must be some secret trading going on then. One thing id really love to see is i know Cuba struggles with internet access and china has launched satelites for other places before. If China helped cuba get a few sats up in geostationary orbit above cuba they could help get more access to the internet, and potentially even bring them into the chinese internet and make a competeing international online space free of american influence. Like a internet of socialist nations. I really want Cuba to prosper hope things improve for them soon.
that's an area I didn't quite grasp, but it sure as shit seemed like everybody had some kind of cellular internet on their phones. none of our US phones could see their network, so we all had to cluster around hotels with wifi to check email and shit.
some guy showed me his phone and it was like they had some Facebook type of app with a wall and messaging, but am an illiterate cave guy with Espanol and it felt weird to ask if I could scroll around, because he was totally using it to meet up with women. older people didn't seem to be as interested in it, but less technical people told me it was some kind of intranet system. which I get, because Christ knows what kind of BS the US would love to install on people's phones in cuba to assist in their ongoing terror campaign.
but apparently if you were in school or some kind of professional, the libraries and stuff had "real" Internet connections.
nobody I met had a background in network integration or whatever enough to articulate how any of it was set up though.
