3 things you did not know about Nauta
For Cubans, Nauta is a glimpse of hope, a sign that things change for the better. Information makes us stronger and nowadays, internet is just the easiest way to stay connected to the news. The global events are intertwined and understanding the connections helps us be prepared for the future. Since this is an important topic for you, here are some updates regarding Nauta and internet usage in Cuba:
1.Lower rates for Nauta
Starting December 2016, Etecsa services for surfing the web with a Nauta account cost 1.50 CUC per hour, instead of 2 CUC per hour. This means they will stay online more and pay the same amount. It’s still rather expensive, considering the wages in Cuba, but it’s a step further toward normality.
2. Cuba starts trial of internet in homes
The trial will be carried out in 2,000 homes located in two districts of Old Havana, selected for their “technical availability” (they have a landline telephone), among other criteria, according to Etecsa’s specialist in landline services, Ana Mendez. Until the end of 2016, internet usage at home had been reserved for professionals like doctors, journalists, intellectuals and academics. So, this pilot trial shows us the good direction towards which Cuba is evolving.
3. You can top up Nauta accounts using HablaCuba.com
