Telecommunications Company of Cuba S. A. (ETECSA) is a state-owned enterprise of the Cuban government and the only company authorized to provide telecommunications services in Cuba. Its exclusivity turns it into a monopoly in the telecommunications sector.
The company ETECSA receives ongoing criticism for the excessive prices of international calls, both incoming and outgoing from the country, as well as for access to the Internet. The hashtag #lowerinternetprices is popular among Cuban social media users, as it reflects a continuous demand from the Cuban population.
