Digital Adoption in Micronesia
40% internet use · 0.3235 e-government
This profile brings together internet use, financial inclusion and UN e-government indicators for Federated States of Micronesia, with source years shown alongside each figure.
Internet and Connectivity
Internet use in Federated States of Micronesia is reported at 40% for 2024. The indicator measures individuals using the internet rather than subscriptions.
For the country comparison, Micronesia is compared only where the same indicator definition is available for the country, its region and the world. The source year is shown with each figure.
This is the latest internet-use observation directly verified for this page. Subscription counts are not treated as unique users.
That distinction matters: subscription rates can exceed 100 per 100 people because one person can hold multiple active services, whereas internet use is a population share. Each dataset is shown with its own reference year.
