Internet in Guinea-Bissau
The internet has become an essential tool for communication, education, and business in today’s world. In Guinea-Bissau, the internet has been slow to develop due to various factors such as limited infrastructure, high costs, and low levels of digital literacy. However, in recent years, there has been a significant increase in internet usage in the country, driven by the expansion of mobile networks and the availability of affordable smartphones.
According to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), only 3.3% of the population in Guinea-Bissau had access to the internet in 2010. However, this figure has increased to 12.
