Only 40 percent have accessed the option, while voice and messages package purchases have increased. Although these statistics are not recorded at the provincial level.

Sánchez clarified that the offices and services will always be open to young people who wish to register a telephone line in their name. Without a time limit, until everyone has access to the offer.

The Cuban Telecommunications Company, committed to supporting education and building a digital society, recently introduced two new mobile data packages in the country. Including the sector-specific plan aimed at young university students, which offers 6 GB for 360 pesos.
