Cuba to promote social use of the Internet and cut mobile cost

In his annual report to Parliament, Cuban Minister of Informatics and Communications, Maimir Mesa, spoke of the decision to "expand the Internet gradually" with projects to enhance social applications. He also said security would be improved and the cost of mobile service reduced.

As far as I know, he said nothing about the ALBA-1 undersea cable.

Does anyone have any detail on the projects he did refer to?

Here is a short video clip from the talk:
