Internet under threat in Cuba

Cuba is once again cracking down on the internet.

Apparently not satisfied with Cuba being only the 4th worst place in the world to be a blogger, the Castro dictatorship has cracked down on one of the few ways most Cubans can use to access the Internet.
Cubans, including superstar blogger Yoani Sanchez, had been able to buy access cards that they then could use at Internet cafes located in tourist hotels. But reports are now that Cubans are now barred from buying the cards.
Another Cuban blogger, Claudia Cadelo, told CubaEncuentro.com, said now Cubans "have to ask a foreigner to buy the car, and then enter the hotel with them to get access with a laptop, via wi-fi, from the lobby."
