Just before we dig into the data, it’s worth noting that we believe there may be some misattribution of data between Saint Martin (French part) and Sint Maarten (Dutch part) in the source data points that we rely on to produce the Global Digital Reports series.
As a result, we advise caution when interpreting the data on this page and in our reports for these two countries, and suggest that it may be more appropriate to combine figures for both territories where possible.
