How San Marino goes online

San Marino writes on WhatsApp and looks at Facebook like the rest of Romagna, with one difference: many people here know the person who posted it. Shopping means Amazon.it or Subito, because there are few shops and prices get compared online. News arrives from San Marino RTV and from Italian outlets, which remember the Titano only when something happens. Plenty of people work in Rimini and come back at night, so the phone earns its keep on the road.

Around 76.5%. With a population of about 34 thousand and 26 thousand online, roughly 8 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
