4 | Netflix announced today that “people in Cuba with Internet connections and access to international payment methods will be able to subscribe to Netflix and instantly watch a curated selection of popular movies and TV shows.” | Ny 9 Febroary, nanambara ny Nettflix fa “ho afaka ny hanao famandrihana ao amin'ny Netflix ary hijery avy hatrany ireo sarimihetsika malaza voafantina sy ireo seho anaty fahitalavitra ireo olona ao Kiobà manana fahafahana miditra aterineto sy afaka manao fandoavam-bola iraisampirenena.” |
5 | The company seems unaware that even those Cubans who have Internet access do not have a strong enough connection to watch videos online. | Toa tsy tao an-tsain'ilay orinasa mihitsy ny hoe na ireo Kiobàna manana fahafahana miditra aterineto aza anie ka tsy manana koriana sahaza tsara mba hijerena lahatsary ety anaty aterineto. |
6 | Nor do they have credit or debit cards to pay for service. | Sady tsy manana karatra fandoavana na fakàna vola handoavana ny zavatra jifainy. |
7 | The required broadband connection speed for playing movies and TV shows through Netflix is 0.5 megabits per second and the recommended connection speed is 1.5 megabits per second. | Ny koriana ilaina ho an'ny fifandraisana mba hahafahana mijery sarimihetsika sy seho anaty fahitalavitra dia 0.5 megabits isaky ny segondra, ary ny koriana ilaina ho an'ny ara-barotra dia 1.5 megabits isaky ny segondra. |
8 | The University of Havana, for example, distributes 18 megabits per second among more than 6,000 student users each day. | Ny Anjerimanontolo ao Havana, ohatra, dia mitsinjara amin'ny 18 megabits isaky ny segondra isanandro ho an'ireo mpianatra maherin'ny 6.000 ao aminy. |
9 | Yudivián Almeida, professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Sciences, told Global Voices that “it would be possible to watch Netflix after 6pm, when most of the students are not in the campus.” | Yudivián Almeida, profesora mampianatra ao amin'ny Lalam-piofanana Siansa momba ny matematika sy ny solosaina, dia nilaza tamin'ny Global Voices fa “mety ho azo atao ihany ny hijery Netflix aorian'ny amin'ny 6 ora hariva, rehefa tsy ao amin'ny faritry ny toeram-pianarana intsony ny ankamaroan'ny mpianatra.” |
10 | Most colleges in Cuba manage access to Internet for students and professors by establishing limits to the amount of time they spend online, or the amount of information they download. | Ny ankamaroan'ireo ambaratonga ambony ao Kiobà no miezaka hanana fahafahana miditra aterineto ho an'ireo mpianatra sy profesora ao aminy, amin'ny fametrahana fetram-potoana laniana eo amin'ny aterineto, na ny habetsahan'ny angon-drakitra trohana. |
11 | For example, a professor can only download 80 MB of data in a month. | Ohatra, 80 MB ihany no angon-drakitra azon'ny profesora iray trohana ao anatin'ny volana iray. |
12 | With all that the Internet offers for university-level scholars, it is difficult to imagine that anyone in this position would use their Internet connection to watch half of an episode of a TV series once a month. | Miaraka amin'izay rehetra azon'ny aterineto omena ho an'ireo manam-pahaizana eny amin'ny anjerimanontolo, sarotra ny haka sary ao an-tsaina hoe olona manana toerana tahàka izany no ndeha hampiasa indray mandeha isam-bolana ny aterineto hijerena antsasaka tantara fandefa amin'ny fahitalavitra. |
13 | The most recent statistics provided by Cuba's National Office of Statistics and Information, for the year 2013, reflect that only 26 percent of the Cuban population had access to an Internet service or a home network, which provides e-mail and permits the use of websites based in the country. | Ny antontanisa akaiky indrindra navoakan'ny Birao Nasionaly ao Kiobà misahana ny Antontanisa sy ny Fampahalalam-baovao, ho an'ny taona 2013, dia ahitana taratra fa 23 isanjato monja amin'ny vahoaka Kiobàna no manana fahafahana miditra aminà tolotra ety anaty aterineto, na manana izany ao an-tranony, izay ahafahana mahazo imailaka sy ahafahana mampiasa ireo tranonkala misy ao an-toerana. |
14 | This is one of the lowest Internet penetration rates in Latin America and the Caribbean. | Io no ambany indrindra amin'ny fahafahana miditra aterineto any Amerika Latina sy Karaiba. |
15 | The survey also identified the existence of only 90 computers for every 1,000 inhabitants. | Nasehon'ilay fandalinana ihany koa fa solosaina 90 ho an'ny mponina 1.000 ihany no misy. |
16 | Internet access policy in Cuba privileges free usage in universities and research centers, but limits individual use to public access points with very high prices in comparison to the average income of citizens. | Ny fahafahana mampiasa azy maimaimpoana any amin'ireo anjerimanontolo sy ny foibe fikarohana no politika itondràna ny aterineto ao Kiobà, fa ferana kosa ny fampiasàn'ny isam-batan'olona azy eny amin'ireo toerana ahafahan'ny daholobe miditra aterineto, amin'ny alàlan'ny fanaovana ambony be ny sandany raha ampitahaina amin'ny fidiram-bolan'ny olom-pirenena ankapobeny. |
17 | One hour of Internet browsing costs $4.50 and only 60 cents if it is reduced to domestic-only navigation. | Raha mitety ny aterineto ianao dia handany $4.50 fa 60 cents monja raha toa ka fitetezana ny ao an-tànana ihany. |
18 | Less than one percent of local residents have Internet connections in their homes, almost none of which are strong enough to support streaming or downloads of video files. | Latsaky ny iray isanjato amin'ny mponina no manana fahafahana miditra aterineto any an-trano, azo lazaina ho tsy misy afaka hijerena na hitrohana sarimihetsika izany amin'ireo, na iray aza. |
19 | In order to use Netflix services, Cuban subscribers would also need access to what the company describes as “international payment methods”. | Mba ho afaka mampiasa ny tolotry ny Netflix, dia ilain'ireo Kiobàna ihany koa ny fahafahana mampiasa ny antsoin'ilay orinasa hoe “fomba fandoavana vola iraisampirenena”. |
20 | But most Cubans do not have credit or debit cards and cannot use PayPal either. | Saingy ny ankamaroan'ny Kiobàna no tsy manana karatra fandoavana na fisintonana vola, ary tsy afaka mampiasa PayPal akory. |
21 | Barack Obama promised last December that US citizens would soon be able to use US-based credit cards on the island, as part of renewed relations between the two countries. | Ny Desambra lasa teo dia nampanantena i Barack Obama fa ho azon'ireo teratany ampiasaina ao amin'io nosy io ato ho ato ny karatra fandoavana sy fisintonana vola avy any Etazonia, tafiditra ao anatin'ny fanavaozana ny fiarahana miasa eo amin'ny firenena roa tonta. |
22 | But there has been no indication that the same will be true for Cubans any time soon. | Saingy tsy nisy fanamarihana raha toa ka ho marina koa izany ho an'ireo Kiobàna ato ho ato. |
23 | Netflix co-founder and CEO Reed Hastings said “we are delighted to finally be able to offer Netflix to the people of Cuba, connecting them with stories they will love from all over the world.” | Nilaza i Reed Hasting, mpiara-nanorina ny Netflix sady tale jeneraliny hoe “faly izahay fa, ela ny ela, afaka ihany manolotra ny Netflix ho an'ny vahoaka Kiobàna, mampifandray azy ireo amin'ireo tantara ankafiziny manerantany.” |
24 | But if they reach anyone at all, it will most likely be foreign tourists staying at high-end hotels on the island, which do have broadband Internet connections. | Saingy raha tonga any amin'ny olona rehetra ry zareo, dia toa ny vahiny mpizaha tany mipetraka any amin'ireo trano fandraisana vahiny avo lenta ao amin'ny nosy no ho betsaka amin'izany, ireo izay manana aterineto haingam-pisosa. |
25 | Hastings also expects to be able to bring the work of Cuban filmmakers to Netflix' global audience of over 57 million members. | Miandrandra ny ho afaka hitondra ny asan'ireo Kiobàna mpamokatra sarimihetsika ihany koa i Hastings ho hitan'ireo 57 tapitrisa mahery manerana izao tontolo izao mpikambana ao amin'ny Netflix. |
26 | Although this component of Netflix' announcement has received considerably less media attention, it may be the company's most realistic (and laudable) goal with respect to Cuba, at least for now. | Na dia tsy dia nahoan'ny fampahalalam-baovao loatra aza io singam-panambaràn'ny Netflix io, dia mety ho tanjona azo tanterahana (sy mendri-piderana) avy amin'ilay orinasa io, miaraka amin'ny fanomezana haja an'i Kiobà, farafaharatsiny aloha hatreto. |
