Telecommunications Company of Cuba S. A. (ETECSA) is a state-owned enterprise of the Cuban government and is the only company authorized to provide telecommunications services in Cuba. Its exclusivity makes it a monopoly in telecommunications.

The company ETECSA receives continuous criticism for the excessive prices of international calls, both incoming and outgoing from the country, as well as for internet access. The hashtag #bajenlospreciosdeinternet is popular among Cuban social media users, as it reflects a constant demand from the Cuban population.
