As part of changes first announced in April, Washington has also relaxed rules for U.S. telecommunication companies doing business with Cuba. Cuban-Americans can now visit a broader range of relatives, as often as they want, and spend more money. According the US Treasury, the aim is to promote greater contact between separated family members. Anchor Marco Werman speaks to Miami Herald reporter Frances Robles about how Cuban-Americans are responding to the new rules. (photo: AP)
