How Liechtenstein goes online

Not much is required here: WhatsApp for arrangements, Facebook for the handful of groups in which a village organises itself. The bank has its own app, and what used to happen at the counter now happens on the train. News comes from the Vaterland, supplemented by Swiss channels, whose signal is simply better than what the country itself produces. Many people commute to Buchs or Feldkirch, so shopping and doctor appointments often sit across the border. By evening the screen goes quiet again.

Around 95%. With a population of about 40 thousand and 38 thousand online, roughly 2 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
