How Georgia goes online

In Tbilisi, the news still travels through Facebook. A protest, a road closure or a restaurant opening will show up there first, usually with a long argument underneath. WhatsApp is for the practical side: arranging a lift, sharing a taxi number, checking whether someone got home. Bolt is the default for getting across town, especially after the metro stops, and its prices are a frequent topic of complaint. Local bank apps make transfers quick, and younger people switch between Georgian, Russian and English without thinking about it.

Around 78.4%. With a population of about 3.7 million and 2.9 million online, roughly 800 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
