One of the major things we should watch for is a Miami to Cuba submarine cable. The Miami area (and the Terremark/Verizon "NAP of the Americas" IX point/datacenter) is already the landing station for a ton of submarine cables going to latin america.

At present there are challenges at OSI layer 1 getting data into/out of Cuba, not including any government regulation/interference, just due to the lack of pipes. There's a fiber cable to Venezuela, but VZ is not very well connected internationally and there's significant challenges with any US company trying to acquire a circuit on that path (do you want to build a POP in Caracas, with what's going on there right now?)

I did networking in another life, and I'd love to take some vacation time from my current gig to finagle networking in Cuba or Caracas.

Dangerous? Of course. Where would the fun be if it wasn't.
