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

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