4 | Top Cuban officials allegedly have rejected an offer from Google to supply the island with free public WiFi throughout the country. | Voalaza fa nandà ny tolotra avy amin'ny Google hamatsy wifi maimampoana hoan'ny vahoaka ao amin'ny nosy manerana ny firenena ny manam-pahefana ambony indrindra Kiobàna. |
5 | Although neither the company nor the Cuban government has explicitly commented on the matter, multiple news sources seem to have drawn this conclusion from an interview in Juventud Rebelde (“Rebellious Youth”), the island's long-standing youth newspaper. | Na dia samy tsy nisy naneho hevitra mazava momba izany raharaha izany aza na ny orinasa (Google) na ny governemanta Kiobàna , toa nanatsoaka ity fehin-kevitra ity tamin'ny resadresaka tao amin'ny gazety Juventud Rebelde (Tanora Mpikomy), gazetin'ny tanora ela nihetezana ireo loharanom-baovao marobe. |
6 | The interview featured Jose Ramon Machado, a contemporary of the Castro brothers, who after forty years at the helm of Cuba's Union of Communist Youth appears as determined as ever to instill in young Cubans the values and morals of Cuba's unique brand of Marxism. | Nampiseho an'i Jose Ramon Machado, indray nihira tamin'i Castro mirahalahy, izay toa tapa-kevitra tanteraka hametraka ny soatoavina sy ny fitondra-tena mampiavaka ny Marksisma tsy manam-paharoa ao Kiobà eo amin'ny tanora rehefa nahavita ny efapolo taona nitantanana ny Firaisamben'ny Tanora Kaominista ao Kiobà ny antsafa iray nifanaovana taminy. |
7 | When the reporter asked Machado what he thought about the value of the Internet for Cuban youth, Machado's response was clear: | Raha nanontany an'i Machado ny heviny mikasika ny lanjan'ny ny Interineto ho an'ny tanora Kiobana ny mpanoratra gazety, dia mazava ny valintenin'i Machado: |
8 | Internet access is a great opportunity and at the same time a great challenge, because new technologies are novel and vital, not only for person-to-person communication, but also for development. | Fanararaotana indrindra ny fidirana amin'ny aterineto sady fanamby goavana ihany koa, satria zava-baovao sy zava-dehibe ny teknolojia vaovao, tsy amin'ny fifaneraserana eo amin'ny samy olona ihany fa eo amin'ny fampandrosoana ihany koa. |
9 | Everyone knows why there isn't more Internet [in Cuba]. | Mahafantatra ny antony mahatonga ny tsy fisian'ny aterineto betsaka ao Kiobà ny tsirairay. |
10 | It's because of the high cost. | Noho ny halafosany no anton'izany. |
11 | There are those who would like to give us Internet for free, but they aren't doing this so that Cubans can communicate with one another, rather they're doing it with the goal of penetrating us on ideological grounds, in an effort to make a new conquest. | Misy ireo te-hanolotra aterineto maimaimpoana ho antsika, saingy tsy manao izany ahafahan'ny Kiobàna mifanerasera amin'ny hafa izy ireo fa manao izany hitsofohana ao amin'ny sehatra firehan-kevitra, mba hahazoana tany sy olona [babo] vaovao. |
12 | We need to get Internet, but in our own way, recognizing that the imperialist intention is to use it as one more way to destroy the Revolution. | Mila miditra aterineto isika, saingy amin'ny fombantsika manokana, ary manaiky fa ny fikasana imperialista dia ny ampiasaina azy ho fomba iray hafa hanimbana ny Revolisiona |
13 | The dystopian imperialist takeover Machado imagines may sound far-fetched, but the essence of his point should not be written off as absurd or dotty. | Mety hoe manitatra ny filazana fa mibahana amin'ny eritreritr'i Machado ny fijery diso tafahoatra ny resaka imperialisma, saingy tsy tokony hosoratana ho tsy mitombina na tsy mazava ny fomba fijeriny. |
14 | Replace “conquest” with “profit” and the response sounds more reasonable. | Soloy “tombontsoa” ny hoe “[tany sy olona] babo” dia ho hita mazava kokoa ny valiny. |
15 | In the words of Uruguayan journalist Fernando Ravsberg, who has resided in Havana since the early 1990s, “They say that when the donation is too large, even the poor become suspicious.” | Amin'ny tenin'ilay mpanao gazety Orogoaiana Fernando Ravsberg, izay monina ao Havana hatramin'ny taona 1990. “Nilaza izy ireo fa raha goavana loatra ny fanomezana, na dia ny mahantra aza mety hiahiahy.” |
16 | Indeed, Google is a bright and shiny representation of the core free market capitalistic values that entities like the Union of Communist Youth, and the Cuban Communist Party on the whole, have sought to deconstruct and disavow since the 1960s. | Eny tokoa, solontena mamirapiratra sy manjelanjelatra amin'ny tsena malalaky ny soatoavina kapitalista ny Google izay soatoavina notadiavin'ny fikambanana tahaka ny Firaisamben'ny Tanora Kaominista sy ny Antoko Kaominista Kiobàna horavana sy holavina hatramin'ny taona 1960. |
17 | What Machado didn't mention in the interview is the all-but-confirmed fact that the Cuban government did go so far as to meet with Google executives, including CEO Eric Schmidt, on at least one occasion since the countries decided to renew diplomatic relations last December. | Ny tsy nolazain'i Machado tamin'ny tafatafa dia ny zavatra rehetra azo lazaina ankoatra ny fanamafisana fa nandeha lavitra hatramin'ny fihaonana amin'ireo lehiben'ny Google mihitsy ny governemanta Kiobàna, anisan'izany ny fihaonana tamin'ny Filoha Tale Jeneralin'ny Google, Atoa Eric Schmidt, farafahavitsiny dia indray mandeha izany hatramin'ny nanavaozan'ny firenena ny fifandraisana ara-diplomatika tamin'ny Desambra. |
18 | US tech media have gone crazy for the story (see headlines from Newsweek, Havana Times) despite the fact that no formal agreement ever appears to have been reached. | Tsy tana mihitsy ny [fihetseham-pon'ny] manampahaizana ara-media ao Etazonia tamin'ity tantara ny ity (jereo ny lohateny ao amin'ny Newsweek, Havana Times) na dia toa mbola tsy nisy akory aza ny fifanekena ofisialy. |
19 | But it is important that Cuban officials were willing to entertain the possibility at all. | Tena zava-dehibe raha vonona hihevitra izay azo atao ireo manampahefana Kiobàna ireo. |
20 | One can surmise that there is an intense debate afoot within the party and government concerning these questions and that not everyone has come down on the same side as Machado. | Azo lazaina fa misy ny adihevitra mafana eo anivon'ny antoko sy ny governemanta mikasika ireo lohahevitra ireo ary tsy ny rehetra no mitovy hevitra amin'i Machado. |
21 | In recent years, it has become far easier for Cubans to own and use tech products and services, and to exchange digital media files using pendrives and bluetooth technology without fear of punishment. | Tao anatin'ny taona vitsivitsy, nanjary mora lavitra ho an'ny Kiobàna ny manana sy mampiasa vokatra sy tolotra teknolojika sy mifanakalo tahiry media nomerika mampiasa teknolojia USB sy Bluetooth tsy matahotra ny ho voasazy. |
22 | WiFi networks are no longer unheard of, though still practically non-existent outside Havana. | Tsy zava-tsy fandre intsony izany tambajotra WiFi izany, na dia mbola saika tsy misy aza ivelan'i Havana. |
23 | Machado's interview may not represent the final word on this story, or on the broader question of US technology companies setting up shop in Cuba. | Mety tsy maneho ny tsoankevitra farany amin'ity raharaha ity ny antsafa nifanaovana tamin'i Machado, na ny sehatra midadasika momba ireo orinasan-teknolojian'i Etazonia manokatra tsena ao Kiobà. |
24 | But it does suggest that the debate over access to technology and its political meaning both in and outside the country continues to rage within the heart of Cuba's leadership. | Saingy milaza izany fa mbola mavaivay eo anivon'ny mpitantana ao Kiobà ny adihevitra mikasika ny fidirana amin'ny teknolojia sy ny dikany ara-politika ao anatiny sy ivelan'ny firenena . |
