Let's discuss internet access in Cuba and Haiti. It's a crucial aspect of modern life.
Sounds challenging. Are we talking about outdated technology or have they made progress into the 21st century?
Cuba is slowly modernizing its digital infrastructure. They're expanding WiFi hotspots, but widespread, reliable access is still limited.
So, it's not exactly ideal for streaming services. What about Haiti?
Haiti faces even greater hurdles. Limited infrastructure and widespread poverty significantly hinder internet access. Mobile data is the primary option, but affordability is a major issue.
Mobile data as the main source – that presents numerous challenges for education and other online activities. What about smartphone penetration?
Smartphone ownership is increasing, but it's still low compared to other regions. Even with a smartphone, the cost of data remains a barrier. Many rely on shared connections.
Shared connections highlight the ingenuity of people finding ways to access the internet. Is 4G available?
4G is being rolled out, but the speed and reliability are far from what we're used to.
That makes launching tech startups quite difficult. How is digital innovation faring?
It's a struggle, but people are innovating with limited resources. They're building community networks and using technology for social good.
Necessity truly breeds innovation. Where can listeners learn more about the tech scene in Cuba and Haiti?
