The Federated States of Micronesia is a small island nation located in the western Pacific Ocean. It is comprised of four states, namely Yap, Chuuk, Pohnpei, and Kosrae. With a population of just over 100,000 people, Micronesia is one of the smallest countries in the world. Despite its size, the country has made significant strides in internet connectivity over the years.
In the early 2000s, internet connectivity in Micronesia was limited to a few government agencies and private businesses. The country relied heavily on satellite technology to connect to the internet, which was slow and expensive. This made it difficult for individuals and small businesses to access the internet, hindering economic growth and development.
