[Asterisk-Users] Termination - Cuba

[Tim Petlock]

There was an article in El Pais' (Uruguay) Sunday paper two weeks ago
about internet access in Cuba.  Tourists can buy cards (priced in US
dollars) that allow dialup access.  According to the article, the call
to the dialup number can only be placed from phone accounts that are
billed and paid in US dollars.  If your phone is billed and paid in
Cuban pesos - you can't even complete the call to the modem bank.  The
article said that internet access is very sought after but hard to come
by.

The article said that computers, fax machines and photocopiers are not
legal to buy or sell without a government license.

I googled ETECSA (the name of the phone company in Cuba) and came up
with this link to their rate sheet:
http://www.infocom.etecsa.cu/nuevas_tarifas_u.htm

Given that from the rate sheet I can see that the COUNTRY has embraced
the concept of having an intranet, I think you're going to be
hard-pressed to get what you're looking for.

(Interestingly, while visiting Cuba three years ago I needed to call the
USA - I went to the local ETECSA office and paid dollars in advance for
the number of minutes I wanted to talk - and nearly fell over when they
handed me a 3watt Motorola bag phone [AMPS cellular] across the counter
to use to place the call.)

Good luck in your search!

Hi,

I am looking for a VoIP (SIP or Asterisk) termination at Cuba. High
traffic.

Thanks in advance,
