Abstract	The article focusses on the suggestion of establishing a Latin American network that would guarantee telecommunications independence for nations included in the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas. It is noted that a submarine fiber optic cable that would connect La Guaira in Northern Venezuela, with Siboney in the eastern province of Santiago de Cuba, would break the U.S. telecommunications blockade of the island while facilitating cooperation in areas such as health and education between the two countries.
