Bush to Let Americans Send Cell Phones to Cuba

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The United States will allow Americans to send mobile phones to relatives in Cuba under a change in policy that President Bush announced Wednesday.

Bush said he is making the change since President Raúl Castro "is allowing Cubans to own mobile phones for the first time."

"If he is serious about his so-called reforms, he will allow these phones to reach the Cuban people," Bush said.

Bush urged the Cuban government to loosen restrictions further, saying if Cubans can be allowed to own mobile phones, "they should be trusted to speak freely in public."

They should be allowed to watch uncensored movies and have free access to the Internet, he said...
