the Internet and other global information networks but will

media said Thursday.
The ruling Comunist Party newspaper Granma said regulations
adopted earlier this month outlined the need for access to
Internet and other world information networks, while observing
interests such as ``defense and national security.''

networks would be drawn from ministries that will include the
Interior Ministry, the Justice Ministry and the Armed Forces
Ministry, Granma said.
