Cuba plans completely online society

Filed under: Cuba, Free Software, Latin America — tania @ 6:06 pm

Using free software as a base, Las Tunas in Cuba is going to be the first city in Cuba to try out an experiment of bringing the entire community online. Plans include online education, electronic trade, debate forums and some municipal city functions. The project will also include training and education to build out this online city. Meanwhile, a blogger living in Cuba has engaged in a “war of words” with the Commandante himself, Fidel Castro (a demonstration of free speech?).
