HAVANA, May 3 (UPI) -- Cuba's government, while keeping an iron grip on access to the Internet, finally has allowed the sale of home computers, Havana residents said.
The report said crowds formed at the Havana's Carlos II shopping center when the sale ban was lifted, though most were just looking rather than buying. The desktops cost almost $800; the country's average wage is just under $20 a month.
Internet access is still restricted to some workplaces, schools and universities -- the government says the restrictions remain because it is unable to connect to giant undersea fiber-optic cables due to the U.S. trade embargo.
