Cuba High-Speed Internet: Mystery Shrouds Fate Of Internet Cable

http://j.mp/JAm26A  (Huffingon)

   "More than a year after the February 2011 ceremony on Siboney Beach in
    eastern Cuba, and 10 months after the system was supposed to have gone
    online, the government never mentions the cable anymore, and Internet
    here remains the slowest in the hemisphere. People talk quietly about
    embezzlement torpedoing the project and the arrest of more than a
    half-dozen senior telecom officials."
