The Marshall Islands has made significant progress in expanding internet access, with a 65% penetration rate in 2026. Despite this growth, rural areas still lag behind urban centers, highlighting ongoing challenges in bridging the digital divide. Increased smartphone adoption supports mobile internet usage, yet digital literacy remains a concern for equitable digital participation across all communities.
Improving infrastructure and digital skills are essential to close the digital gap further. Government initiatives focus on rural connectivity projects and digital education programs to ensure broader access. As internet speeds reach 25 Mbps on average, the country is on a positive trajectory towards digital inclusivity and economic development driven by technology.
