How Monaco goes online

Monaco fits into a few kilometres, and yet everything here happens online: a table booked, a bill paid, an appointment at the bank taken from a phone. WhatsApp and Instagram dominate the conversation, one for work and family groups, the other for shopfronts, events and photographs of yachts. For local news, Monaco-Matin is still read every morning. In a place where a large part of the population arrived recently, apps do the work that word of mouth does elsewhere.

Around 97.5%. With a population of about 40 thousand and 39 thousand online, roughly 1 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
