How Guam goes online

Guam's online life is American in its habits and Pacific in its pace. Facebook and WhatsApp cover the family and work chat, and the US platforms people already use fill in the rest. The Pacific Daily News is the local site for government, military and community news, and tourism keeps a steady flow of bookings and reviews. The military base and the visitor industry shape both the coverage and the demand. Connections are generally solid, though a typhoon can still knock everything back to the radio.

Around 76.5%. With a population of about 170 thousand and 130 thousand online, roughly 40 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
