I think it is as the service will have to be paid in “convertible pesos” this is money only available to tourist and is worth 20 times more than “Cuban Pesos” the money Cubans use. Keep in mind the average Cuban only makes $408 Cuban Pesos a month (20 USD).
So while the ban is lifted, I am pretty sure it’s just for show to give the impression of change, because what Cuban will be able to afford the service?
