Cuba's Etecsa offering free mobile internet during test
Cuban state-run telecom operator Etecsa will offer free internet to users of data-enabled mobile phones as it carries on testing its newly deployed 3G network, the company said in a statement on Friday.
Etecsa will run a 72-hour test of its mobile access system from Saturday to Monday, during which time it will provide prepaid users of compatible equipment with 50Mb of free-of-charge internet, with the possibility of adding another 50Mb.
Cuba has been offering the service for a few months now to state journalists and post-paid clients.
The island appears ahead of only Haiti in the International Telecommunication Union's 2017 ICT Development Index in the Americas, with 35.5 cellphones per 100 inhabitants, 7.5% of households enjoying internet access and – as of last year – no mobile broadband connections.
