 Cuba goes mobile (Cuba)

CUBA’S Government will allow all Cubans to buy and use mobile phones for the first time in the latest step by new President Raul Castro to improve access to consumer goods.

Mobile phone services have been restricted until now to foreigners and government workers.

Many Cubans have for long wanted mobile phone access and hoped it would be among the first steps by Mr Castro, who has promised to start lifting “excessive regulations and prohibitions”.

He succeeded his ailing brother Fidel as Cuba’s first new leader in almost 50 years on February 24.
