In Cuba, Internet is not so smooth.
For decades, this island nation occupied the last place in the ranking of the prevalence of access to the world wide web.
For example, in 2014, the Internet had only about 30% of the population. But in 2015, the Cuban government announced the appearance of the country’s top 35 public Wi-Fi spots.
It’s still not exactly simple: you need to pay about 2 dollars for the access code and hope that the network will not be overloaded. But for many Cubans this is the first opportunity to get on the Internet. Photographer Maureen Muse visited five points of the wireless public network access in Havana and captured in my photographs what is happening around them.
Her photos came as tourists, fasting photos to Instagram, and students working on their laptops, doctors checking email, and numerous other users, rejoicing appeared finally to the Internet.
