information media) of introducing free software for freeing
the cuban society of privative software. In fact, if you
compare the privative software and the way cuban State
- operates the information media, based on the resolution 149
- emitted by the Ministerium of Informatics and
- Telecomunications (MIT), you may find them very similar. There
- is an obsession by controlling all the information media on
- the country and they cannot be used to purposes others than
- those defined by cuban State. For example, to reach Internet
- access, cuban people need to work for the cuban State somehow
- and that way complying with whatever politics they impose
- about information management. There is no a legal way for
- cuban people to contract an Internet service at home, even the
- cuban churches in the island have limitations in this area
- (unbelievable). The most I see one can do in Cuba to share
- data with friends is trying to resolve
a fixed
- telephone line at home to gain access to the cuban telephone
- network and then use it to transmit data using computers. The
- telephone network is the communication medium most people have
- access to, however, there are limitations in the number of
- simultaneous connections that one can phisically perform

+ In Cuba there is only one telecomunication organization named
+ ETECSA. This organization is very tied to the cuban State and
+ controls everything related to telephone networks and
+ dedicated links for data transmistion in the island. Based on
+ the fact that the telephone network is the only communication
+ medium most cuban people have direct access to, our attention
+ is centered on it as transfering medium to exchange data using
+ computers. It is important to remark that, when using the
+ telephone network as medium for data transmission, there are
+ limitations in the number of simultaneous connections it is
+ possible to phisically establish between computers, the way of
+ obtaining the required communication devices, and the way
+ information might be exchanged with public services available
+ on different networks outside Cuba's political boundaries.
+ Nevertheless, the telephone network has a national scope that
+ can be used by computers to transfer data all over the island
+ at a cost of telephone calls.

+ I beleive that most of problems the cuban people presently

+ order to understand what we are and where we are going to, in
+ the sense of interdependent human beings. To face the
+ information problem, we need to provide independent ways for
+ cuban people to express themselves in freedom and provide,
+ this way, the routes needed to work on. That's my goal with
+ this work: educating myself in the compromise of providing an
+ independent space for cuban people to discuss and coordinate
+ how to create collaborative networks throuth the cuban
+ telephone network
- Communication devices like modems, switches and routers
- are available to institutions related to cuban State only.
