Micronesian Digital Revolution

Micronesia, an archipelago of islands scattered across the vast Pacific Ocean, has long struggled to develop a robust telecommunications infrastructure. Limited access to reliable internet connectivity has hindered progress, affecting economic growth, education, and healthcare services in the region.

Micronesia relied on expensive undersea fiber optic cables to connect to the global internet network. The immense distances between islands and the high costs of laying cables made it nearly impossible to provide affordable internet, resulting in significant digital divide.
