[governance] WCIT melt down

[Carlos A. Afonso]

Cuba brings the issue for obvious reasons -- the USA does not allow 
Internet operators under US jurisdiction to provide connectivity to 
Cuba, as part of its blockade. Venezuela is now providing fiber 
bandwidth to Cuba, but I wonder what happens to Cuban traffic in the 
portions of the Internet under USA jurisdiction?
