How Lithuania goes online

Vilnius runs on a quiet assumption that most things can be done from a phone. Facebook is still the place for local news, event listings and the occasional fierce argument, while WhatsApp handles the family and work chats. Skelbiu is the classifieds site people check for a flat, a used bike or a rental, and it has the kind of search filters that reward patience. Electronic government and bank authentication are mature enough that signing a document online is normal. Older users are not left out entirely, though many still keep a paper backup.

Around 89.3%. With a population of about 2.8 million and 2.5 million online, roughly 300 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
