Florida Company Seeks FCC OK To Offer Telecom Services to Cuba

Telco Cuba filed an application Wednesday with the FCC International Bureau to operate as a resale carrier for Cuba. A subsidiary of Amgentech, Telco Cuba said it plans to offer a variety of communications services, including VoIP and direct SMS messaging in the U.S. and between the U.S. and Cuba. Several telecom companies, such as Sprint, have started moving into the Cuban market since the recent shift in U.S. policy (see 1506150070).
