Cuba for the day

Rico probably won't be able to afford the CSS Stonewall trip this year, alas, but Netflix is getting in, as Laura Lorenzetti explains in this Fortune article:

Netflix is bringing its original series and vast entertainment libraries to Cuba nearly two months after President Obama ended the more than fifty-year-long embargo against our southern neighbor.
The Los Gatos, California-based company plans to expand locally as Cuban customers gain better Internet access and credit and debit cards become more widely available, according to a statement. It will offer subscriptions starting at eight dollars a month.
“We are delighted to finally be able to offer Netflix to the people of Cuba, connecting them with stories they will love from all over the world,” said CEO Reed Hastings. “Cuba has great filmmakers and a robust arts culture and one day we hope to be able to bring their work to our global audience of over fifty million members.”
The online streaming service serves customers across nearly fifty countries, including five million members across Latin America. Netflix’ Cuban launch comes on the heels of its Asian expansion announcement. The company will launch in Japan this fall, and plans to complete its global rollout by the end of 2016.

Rico says it's getting to be the Coca-Cola of the entertainment world...
