By David Adams MIAMI (Reuters) – A team of top Google executives is visiting Cuba to promote open Internet access, according to a dissident blogger who says she met the group in Havana. The team, led by Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, met with Cuban officials as well as independent people in the technology and digital field, according to a report on the independent news website 14ymedio.com, which was started last month by blogger Yoani Sanchez. Google is on an official two-day visit to promote the virtues of a free and open Internet, the report said. Neither Google nor the Cuban government made any official statement about the executives presence in Cuba.
