Cuba lifts curbs on mobile phones

Curbs?

"Cuba's rate of cell phone usage remains among the lowest in Latin America. "


Gee, now why would that be Auntie?

"However, the new service must be paid for in foreign currency, which will restrict access to wealthier Cubans. "


So no change then? And about that foreign currency.

"...the general public to sign prepaid contracts in Cuban Convertible Pesos, which are geared toward tourists and foreigners and worth 24 times the regular pesos Cuban state employees are paid in."


And who knows how many times that normal Cuban's are paid in.
