HAVANA—Cubans have a new private enterprise opportunity—acting as "telecommunications agents" by essentially turning their homes into phone booths and charging neighbors by the minute to use their telephones.
The Labor Ministry rule announced Tuesday also says the "agents" will be able to offer Internet access at some point in the future.
Home Internet accounts are still closely restricted, though authorities have said they intend to begin offering them to the wider public next year.
