Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba S. A. (ETECSA) is a state-owned company of the Cuban government and is the only authorized provider of telecommunications services in Cuba. Its exclusivity makes it a monopoly in telecommunications.
The company ETECSA faces continuous 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 it reflects an ongoing demand from the Cuban population.
