Telecommunications issues between the US and Cuba has been a long standing problem. A deal has been signed early in March between ETECSA and a New Jersey IDT to restore direct telephone connections between Cuba and the US.

A statement by Havana says the Cuban side offered the U.S. delegation information about the country’s computer systems and cybersecurity policy.
