Carr and Florida Leaders Urge Support for Internet Freedom in Cuba
MIAMI, FLORIDA, July 15, 2021 -
Today, Commissioner Brendan Carr joined Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Lieutenant Governor Jeanette Nuñez, and RepresentativesMaria Elvira
Salazar and Carlos Giménez to reiterate their call for the Biden Administration to offer its full support for American enterprise to
provide Internet service to the people of Cuba. Commissioner Carr
issued the following statement:
"This is a moment in history that we cannot let pass. Increasingly,
dictators around the world are shutting down Internet connections when
people yearning for freedom stand up to those oppressive regimes. We
are seeing that right now in Cuba. The communist regime does not want
the free world to witness the brutal tactics they are deploying in
their effort to cling to power. So the regime is shutting down the
Internet connections that allow the Cuban people to shine a light on
those oppressive tactics.
"I was proud to stand with Governor DeSantis and Florida leaders in
Miami today to call on the Biden Administration to put its full
support behind efforts to end this Internet blockade. American
enterprises have the technology capability to beam Internet into Cuba,
and we must not lose any time in authorizing and clearing the way for
the deployment of those technologies"
