Telecommunications infrastructure is important for any country, especially in this new information age. The quality of the infrastructure is just one part of the equation, the other part is accessibility to the infrastructure. It seems like Cuba is moving a little more to improved accessibility to telecom infrastructure.
As of today, ordinary Cubans can now own cellphones.They are able to sign up for prepaid contracts on cellphones. Granted they have to pay for them in convertible pesos and the phones will be out of reach for most Cubans, but it does signal a shift to greater telecom accessibility and this could be a very good thing for the Cuban economy.
