Telecommunication in Palau

Compared to the European Union, Palau is massively lagging behind in the development of telecommunications. Under the country code +680, there were a total of 30,947 connections in 2020. Among them were 23,743 million mobile phones, which corresponds to an average of 1.3 per person. In the EU, this figure is 1.2 mobile phones per person.

In the expansion of broadband Internet connections, Palau is back. Around 27% of all residents have access to the Internet. Approximately 7% have their own fast Internet connection, which is at least faster than the previous ISDN (more than 2048 kbit/s).

With about 4 webhosts, Palau is below the world's average by population.
