Cuba may never achieve telecommunication infrastructure without US …
Insight News, MN
Internet in today's CubaWhile it cannot hook up to the oceanic fiber optic cable or contract the service of US Internet providers, Cuba advances in the development of a domestic fiber optic system and has made considerable progress in recent years with digitalizing around 90 percent of its telephone communications. Nonetheless, telephone service is still limited to 10 phones for every 100 inhabitants, still below the average of 18 percent teledensity in Latin America and the Caribbean and nearly 60 percent in the US. A home grown system, called the Intra-net, allows Cubans to receive e-mail and scroll domestic Web sites. A national network of computer clubs, post offices, and some workplaces and education facilities are the common places where people access. Some professionals with computers provided from their jobs also use the service from their homes. Demand still far exceeds supply. Cuba's Telecommunications Ministry maintains that comprehensive Internet —connecting people to Web sites from around the world— is severely limited due to the slow and expensive satellite service currently available to the island.

Will the Internet Harm Media’s Major Players?
Seeking Alpha, NY
Analyst Anthony DiClemente explained the decisions in his research notes, saying, "our fear is that the damage that digital distribution inflicted on the music industry will replicate itself in the movie industry, and our fears are too great to justify keeping neutral or positive ratings on the creators and distributors of movie and TV content. " LEHMAN BROTHERS’ VIEW: REASONABLE OR TOO CAUTIOUS? Lehman’s downgrades seem to take a conservative view of these businesses and an optimistic view on how impactful the internet will be. Is that reasonable? The short answer is maybe, maybe not. It depends in part on an investor’s time horizon and whether they looking for short term gains, or long. Whether their vision is forward one year, three, or five or ten? It depends on whether they’re willing to gamble increased R&D expenses will yield revenue results before traditional revenue models withdraw.
