Cuba Starts Rolling Out Internet on Mobile Phones (reuters.com)
Communist-run Cuba has started providing internet on the mobile phones of select users as it aims to roll out the service nationwide by year-end, in a further step toward opening one of the Western Hemisphere's least connected countries. From a report: Journalists at state-run news outlets were among the first this year to get mobile internet, provided by Cuba's telecoms monopoly, as part of a wider campaign for greater internet access that new President Miguel Diaz-Canel has said should boost the economy and help Cubans defend their revolution. Analysts said broader web access will also ultimately weaken the government's control of what information reaches people in the one-party island state that has a monopoly on the media. Cuba frowns on public dissent and blocks access to dissident websites.

For the most part it is. However Cuba track record on these type of things, means we should a world population keep an eye on it to see the ramifications of this.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
So the embargo did absolutely nothing to the GDP or living conditions in Cuba?
Okay.
