In another milestone toward the restoration of U.S. and Cuba relations, IDT (NYSE:IDT) has reached an agreement with Cuba's Empresa de Telecomunicaciones de Cuba to provide direct telephone connections between the two countries. The move marks the first commercial accord realized since the joint Dec. 17 announcement. Although the U.S. imposed an economic embargo on Cuba in the 1960s, phone communication between the two countries was still possible if calls passed through third countries.
