Cultural center has nation's first free Wi-Fi

The Cuban government has allowed the first free, public Wi-Fi service recently at a cultural center in Havana, as it loosens its grip on Internet access in the country.

The cultural center, located in western Havana, is run by a Cuban artist known as Kcho. The Wi-Fi comes from his personal Internet connection and is permitted by the government.

Kcho, 45, pays the cost of the free Wi-Fi service, which allows 15 simultaneous connections.
