I'm curious, doing so would almost certainly mean loosing many luxuries that Americans are used to (easy access to internet for one) Are people really willing to abandon most of it?

Internet has come a long way in Cuba in recent years. The biggest obstacle has traditionally been (shocker) the US embargo making undersea cable construction difficult.

Satellite remains an [expensive] option and I know they just managed to finish a few undersea cable projects regardless. I think they are around 60% of cubans having readily accessible internet now? I expect that will only continue to improve.

In all honesty, a break from the internet wouldn't hurt mots of us. While I wouldn't move there longterm probably, I didn't really miss it while I was in the DPRK.
