Why is the internet not everywhere in Cuba? It is because the government wants to limit the access to the network or just due to investment in internet infrastructure within the country?

About the technological infrastructure ... they wanted to throw a fiber optic cable from Venezuela and someone in Cuba stole all the material and nothing happened ... neither cable nor Internet ... this is how Cuba works and I'm not exaggerating, believe me. But you need to live there as a cuban to understand all this, not to go as a tourist or famous person ...
Both of them, of course, the government does not want people to have free access although it seems that they are already realizing that with the opening made so far it will be very difficult to block everything else so there is truly more Internet connectivity but only in public spaces, squares, parks and also in hotels. The private internet at home is for people with privileges, understand government or close people. But it's not just about the Internet, it's about how Cuba works ... it's an island, something very different from a continent where countries have borders and people can move around. And about the monetary system the control is much stronger than whatever you know... Cuba have a Central Bank.
