Otaola Sounds Alarm on ETECSA's New Payment Method: Will Cubans Lose Access?

Havana, Cuba – June 6, 2025 – A recent video by Cuban influencer Otaola has sparked discussion regarding ETECSA, Cuba's state-run telecommunications company, and its potential shift to a new payment method. Otaola expresses concern that this change may lead to further restrictions on internet access for Cubans. "They're going to limit Cubans from accessing packages over 300 Cuban pesos," Otaola states in the video. This statement highlights the potential for increased costs and reduced access to services for the Cuban population. The video also touches on the broader issue of economic hardship and limitations on freedom of expression in Cuba. While the video presents a critical viewpoint, it raises important questions about the future of communication and economic access in Cuba. The discussion highlights the need for transparency and public engagement in decisions affecting the daily lives of Cuban citizens.
