Tech-Savvy Cubans Build Their Own Private Internet

(Before It's News)

Because Cuba’s government makes it difficult for all but a handful of Cubans to access the Internet, people in Havana and other parts of the country reportedly have linked thousands of PCs to create an informal network known as “StreetNet,” or “SNet” for short. The network was built with commercially available equipment. The PCs are connected by WiFi antennae and Ethernet cables strung across streets and over rooftops. SNet’s main uses appear to be sharing gossip and news, accessing popular TV shows and movies, and playing online games.
