According to the report, these servers are part of Google's "GGC node" global cache server network. In the future, Cuban users can access Google directly through their own servers without going through the submarine cable in Venezuela.
But for most Cubans, surfing the Internet is still a luxury. It is reported that most Cubans can only surf the Internet through 240 public ***WiFi hotspots all over the country, and the cost of surfing the Internet for one hour is about $65,438+$0.50, while the average monthly income of Cubans is only $25.
In addition, the Cuban national telecommunications company Etecsa plans to install Internet connection service for 2,000 households nationwide recently. This service allows users to surf the Internet for up to 30 hours a month, and the cost is about 15 US dollars, which is still relatively expensive. Google said that the agreement reached between the company and Cuba will not be of great significance for improving the online situation of ordinary Cubans.
