Conducting Telecommunications Business In Cuba
November 15, 2010

By: Al Culbreth

President Obama significantly eased restrictions that affect telecommunications service providers’ access to the Cuban market in 2009, paving the way for customers in that country to receive the excellent services most of the world takes for granted. Moreover, this will enable people in the U.S. and around the world to stay in close touch with relatives in the isolated country of Cuba. Obama’s new rules altered the manner in which telecommunications traffic may be routed. Under prior restrictions, the federal government limited companies to indirectly accessing phone and Internet traffic with Cuba, blocking direct connection. The new rules provide the potential for direct communications via optical cable devices and satellite facilities, as well as the ability to negotiate agreements with operators in the country itself. In response to the ease on restrictions, companies have begun significant construction on a major underwater cable network to the tiny island. Industry experts expect that this cable, which will link Cuba to Venezuela, will be completed within the year. The project will provide greatly enhanced telecommunications access for customers in Cuba who eagerly await full service. The cable will also benefit telecommunications service providers in that it will expand their client base. Alfred Culbreth, a pioneer and entrepreneur in the telecommunications field, leads TelCoCuba. Culbreth anticipates the opportunity to provide enhanced services to customers in the emerging market of Cuba.



Australian by L’Alpina Sportswear Company
October 1, 2010

A former top-ranked tennis player, Mr. Alfred T. Culbreth is in the process of acquiring Australian by L’Alpina sportswear company. The brand was founded by Leardo Gabrielli in 1946 as L’Alpina Maglierie Sportive. Gabrielli first designed sportswear for skiers, but was convinced by the Australian tennis players Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall to start manufacturing tennis wear. Adopting the kangaroo as the brand’s symbol, Gabrielli renamed the line “Australian” in honor of the two players that encouraged him to enter a new market. In 1970, Giordano Maioli assumed control of the company and shortly thereafter adopted a rising Czech tennis star, Ivan Lendl, as a spokesman for the Australian brand. The Australian name gained increased popularity in the nineties and was worn by Wimbledon competitor Goran Ivanisevic, a winner of the Australian Open. In the past decade, Australian signed a three-year contract with the Italian Tennis Federation to supply its teams’ official uniforms. At present, Australian by L’Alpina produces high-quality towels, tennis outfits, tracksuits, and bathing suits that are designed to mimic the natural curves of the body, allowing athletes to forget about their clothing and concentrate on the competition. The product is defined by its attention to detail and subtle elegance, which appeal to many athletes’ personal aesthetics. Australian by L’Alpina continues its dedicated research to fashion trends and materials technology, consistently striving to deliver exceptional products in styles that makes them appealing both on and off the court.


At least you now know where Alf ripped off the L'Alpina name from, even if his deal didn't come through.

Anyone have any successful business ventures that Alf pulled off?
