I the late 1950s despite a widening political rift between the pro-Castro Cuban government and the United States. In 1959 the Castro regime quickly expropriated the assets of the Cuban-American Telephone Company on the Havana side of the cable run. Bell South continued open telephone communication with Cuba for about ten years without being paid for the service from the Cuban end. Eventually, Bell Souths management gave the order to shut down the trunk lines to Havana. Later that same day, the parties negotiated a financial settlement wherein all calls originating within Cuba had to be placed on a collect basis. That is, all calls had to be paid for in dollars inside the United States before a connection was established. Bell South finally received some return on its investment. All submarine cables from Key West to Havana ceased functioning by 1987 due to the effects of the harsh marine environment.
