Telecommunications Services Between the United States and Cuba

On March 29, 1996, the Commission approved the application of AT&T Corp. to provide telecommunications services between the United States and Cuba. The services authorized include both switched voice and private line services. Grant of the application also will permit AT&T to improve its capability to serve Cuba, because a new service agreement it entered into with its correspondent in Cuba, EMTELCUBA, becomes effective upon grant of the application. The Commission has authorized AT&T to provide service between the United States and Cuba in accordance with the provisions of the Cuban Democracy Act. This will allow AT&T to help meet the large demand for direct telecommunications services between the United States and Cuba. Under the guidelines established by the Department of State, AT&T is to submit reports indicating the numbers of circuits activated by facility, on or before June 30, and December 31 of each year, and on the one-year anniversary of this notification in the Federal Register.
