Plans to install wi-fi along 8km of Havana’s iconic Malecon seafront have been announced by the Cuban government.
The move will make the popular area for tourists and young people into the largest hotspot on the island.
Only about 5% of Cubans enjoy web access at home and the government still heavily restricts content, although many social media sites are available.
Since last year the government has installed dozens of wi-fi hotspots in public areas, charging $2 an hour.
