Bush said that now Cubans were allowed to get mobile phones, DVD players and computers and they had been told that they would be able to get toasters and other appliances in 2010.He further added that if the Cuban rule was serious about improving life for the Cuban people, it must take necessary steps to make these reforms really meaningful. According to Mr. President, he had marked Cuba’s 106th anniversary of independence this week.

Dan Fisk who is National Security Council senior director for Western affairs, stressed that the new strategy, which is going to be effective in next few weeks, is not a relaxation of the U.S. economic ban against Cuba, contrarily it is just a change in U.S. regulations that will let cell phones to be in gift packs that Americans can launch to Cubans.

The Cuban government didn’t remark on whether the blitz of new cellular phones would make it throughout the Cuban background without confrontation.

Joe Garcia, former head of the Cuban American National Foundation, which was being run to dethrone Republican Rep. Mario Diaz Balart, named that new cell phone rule an ornamental policy change.

Joe Garcia further added that if Bush seriously wanted change in Cuba, he must have instantly granted Cuban-American family visits without any restriction and remittance rights as well.

He regarded Bush’s move as a political gamesmanship to win votes from Cuban-Americans in the coming presidential election.

American cell phones under service bond from the U.S. work in some areas of the island but the service is not considered dependable and it often depends on specifications of the cell phone.

Raul Castro, the first Cuban new president in 49 years, abolished bans that debarred Cubans from getting cell phones at their names, to stay in tourist hotels and purchasing a DVD players, computers and many in demand kitchen devices. He also vowed solid improvements in the state salaries as he has acknowledged that the salaries are too small.

Several weeks ago, Verizon Wireless was the first company to take the leap. They now offer an unlimited voice plan for $99.99 per month. While this may seem like a lot of money, if you are consistently using more minutes than a basic plan allows, it is an idea to consider.

Although Verizon was the first provider to offer this type of plan, many others have followed suit. In fact, it only took T-Mobile and AT&T a couple of days to get in on the action. After all, they did not want to risk the chance of losing business to Verizon.

While unlimited voice is one thing, Sprint Nextel has decided to take things to another level. They are offering plans that not only offer unlimited voice, but also unlimited data. Users who like to send text and video messages on a regular basis will find this plan to be quite useful.

These new plans are perfect for consumers who use their cell phone heavily for personal use. Of course, business men and women will also find these unlimited plans to be useful. It is safe to say that companies will begin to look into buying these plans for employees as a way of curbing high overage charges.

Despite a higher price, these providers have already seen a large influx of users who are interested in switching to an unlimited plan. These numbers are going to continue to grow as 2008 unfolds.

Spending on call phones, currently in the process of passing landline spending in the United States, is poised to get a turbo charge from navigation services based on GPS, according to these survey findings that were released on Thursday.

Moreover, GPS is a relatively unclaimed territory because it’s appealing to a broad demographic and not just a narrowly concentrated segment of the population.

“Today’s GPS-enabled devices are being widely adopted, including among the middle-aged and elderly. GPS is displaying a rapid and unusual pattern of diffusion“, said Owen Shapiro, The Vice President of Leo J. Shapiro and Associates (LJS) in a statement.

The market research company sampled 450 Americans across the United States and found that 24% want GPS on their next cell phone, while 19% want Internet access. Just 6% of GPS users, many with car-based services, have the technology on their cell phones, LJS found, indicating there is a pent-up demand for GPS on cell phones.

The survey referred the published statistical data that were released recently by the Labor Department showing that the average annual household cell phone spending was $524 in 2006, almost as much as the $542 that the average family spent on landline phones. The total average overall cost per family of telephone usage was $1,087.The total figure also included $21 for miscellaneous phone services including phone cards, according to the Labor Department sources.

This survey also relied upon the findings of another survey conducted by the ‘Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics’. This consumer expenditure survey found that cell phone expenditures increased rapidly from 2001 through 2006.

This growth is well evident with the robust cell phone growth of’ Verizon Wireless’ whose wireless revenue increased 15% to 20% annually over the past five years while landline business remained flat during the same period, The Associated Press reported, adding that a Verizon Wireless executive noted that more than 90% of families already had a land line.
