WSJ: “For Cuban Dissidents, an Open Phone Line”, por Nicholas Casey (Inglés)

Cuban blogger Yoani Sánchez became famous for sneaking into state-run Internet cafes to upload posts to her blog, which the Cuban government says is subversive. Part of that process is now a lot simpler: She uploads tweets from an iPhone at home.
Mobile phones, once banned from Cubans' hands, are changing the face and pace of the Cuban dissident movement. They were made legal by President Raúl Castro in 2008, though at first, high costs made it difficult for most Cubans to make calls on the island, let alone send data internationally.
But in the past year, Cuba's government has signed deals with several companies that allow foreigners to add minutes to prepaid Cuban cellphone accounts from abroad.
The measure was aimed at making it easier for outsiders to send money to the cash-strapped island. But contributions from foreign supporters also have been helping dissidents ramp up their flow of messages to the outside world, mostly through Twitter feeds updated via text messages.
