Cuban Telecommunications Company 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 telecommunications monopoly.

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