Excellent; and it's good that Venezuela is spreading its oil-wealth to the people who can benefit from it.

Hilarious! Maybe Cuba will not share its world-class medical care with Venezuela.

Yet another example of US' incompetent foreign policy. No matter which side you are on in this debate, we would be the ones profiting and besides, IT IS MUCH EASIER TO EAVESDROP IF THE LINE IS YOURS!!!

Don't be fooled. The Cuban government will most likely follow the Chinese model and restrict access left and right. They are not doing this for "the citizens".

The Cubans in Florida who delivered GW Bush to the presidency by firming voting for him after the Ilian affair. (Cliniton returned little Ilian to his father after his mother died) I wish they would suffer the economic setback of this. Of course they continue to benefit from the largess of the Govt.
