BANDAR SRI BEGAWAN: Brunei Darussalam has the second-highest level of digital connectivity and access among Asean member states in 2023, according to an Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Development Index (IDI) report released by the International Telecommunication Union, which assessed 169 economies based on the principles of universal and meaningful connectivity.

The sultanate scored 94.8 in the assessment due to a high number of individuals and households having access to the Internet (over 90%), and over 96% of the population having access to fourth generation (4G) or long-term evolution (LTE) mobile-network services. These findings are above the global average of 70% of individuals and households with access to the Internet and 82.9% of population having access to 4G or LTE mobile-network services.
