Telecommunication in Madagascar

Compared to the European Union, Madagascar is massively lagging behind in the development of telecommunications. Under the country code +261, there were a total of 10.72 million connections in 2019. Among them were 10.65 million million mobile phones, which corresponds to an average of 0.41 per person. In the EU, this figure is 1.2 mobile phones per person.

In the expansion of broadband Internet connections, Madagascar is back. Around 10% of all residents have access to the Internet. Approximately 0% have their own fast Internet connection, which is at least faster than the previous ISDN (more than 2048 kbit/s).

With about 38,392 webhosts, Madagascar is below the world's average by population.
