Description of the policy/measure

Promotes the access, through the cubarte network, of different cultural institutions, national centres, institutes and other centres, workers of cultural institutions, writers and artists as outstanding figures of our culture. this is of particular importance for persons who live in isolated or remote areas, since only a telephone line is needed to gain access to this service. connectivity to the network is offered mainly through dial-up connection or through adsl.  in the case of institutions, it is mostly provided through adsl, or through an optical fibre connection, with a greater bandwidth.      

Results achieved

  ensure the access of an important part of the personnel engaged in different spheres of culture to the services and contents of national and international networks. secure a channel which will enable addressees to promote their cultural production.   

Financial resources allocated to the policy

The network is developed with resources allocated by the cuban state to the centre of informatics for culture-cubarte.the cost of the services offered is financed partly by cubarte’s own budget and partly by institutions and outstanding figures. 

Evaluation of the policy/measure

It has not been evaluated. the knowledge of network access is still insufficient.
