That's what I was thinking; Cuba will get the Chinese version.

I have Christian friends in Cuba, they can email but everyone knows the government searches for certain keywords. Most can't get on the Internet, the government wants to control the information they can have.

Free wi-fi for a country where after working for two years the citizens can buy an iphone or maybe even a computer.

The only country left for Obama to legitimize is North Korea. What is he planning for his “historic” meeting with Kim Jong Haircut? I would not be the least bit surprised if Obama signs an armistice seeing we are still are only in a ceasefire. And as a reward billions of dollars will flow in and Obama will give them missile technology (a la Bill Clinton) for “peaceful” deterrent use.
