Telecom data traffic in Cuba grows 10% due to COVID-19; Free access to EnZona e-commerce platform
Cuba state owned telecom company ETECSA president Mayra Arevich posted on her Twitter account @MayraArevich on Thursday:
“The traffic growth for (last) three days is more than 10% of additional volume on our networks”
The ETECSA official also urged not to use large volumes of data on the mobile network so that the traffic capacity can be shared among all, after noting that navigation requires seven times more resources than voice calls.
“To think as a country is to maintain the stability of our systems to guarantee services to our population. We advise you not to use large volumes of data on the mobile network, so that the traffic capacity can be shared among all,” said the executive president of the state enterprise, Mayra Arevich, quoted by the official Cubadebate site.
These (voice calls) guarantee the fundamental communications with the emergency services and our health system,’ Arevich wrote in another tweet quoted Friday by Cuba’s Granma newspaper after social media were flooded with requests for the telephone company to lower rates.
ETECSA guarantees voice/data network stability at this time of constant surveillance on the coronavirus pandemic, with which more than 465,000 people have already been infected in 200 countries, she said.
Cuba Communications Minister Jorge Luis Perdomo said this Thursday that the measures to fight coronavirus were conceived with integrity.
On Friday, Mayra Arevich Marín tweeted: “Starting today, March 27, 2020, you can access the #EnZona platform, an e-commerce application, which together with #Transfermóvil are the forefront of computerization in our society, free of charge.”

HAVANA TIMES – From the most decent and educated ways possible to aggressive and extremely crude forms, be it on the street or in social networks there is a constant demand for Cuba’s monopoly telecomunication company Etecsa to do as in other nations and lower its exorbitant connection rates to Internet.
Some have stated that the Company executives should also appear on the televised Round Table “to show their face” amid this global crisis.
Honestly, the rates are excessively expensive for these times when families need to be aware of each other. And not only for family exchange, but also to enjoy Cuban musicians and popular singers who are presenting themselves to us so that we can have a pleasant time in the days of COVID-19.
