The European 5G Observatory tracks progress in 5G infrastructure deployment across the EU and other regions worldwide according to base stations deployment, edge nodes and infrastructure sharing agreements. Source: IDATE estimates and regulators' data. Reporting period: at December 2024. Source: IDATE estimates and regulators' data.
5G networks divide coverage areas into smaller zones called cells, enabling devices to connect to local base stations via radio. Each station connects to the broader telephone network and the Internet through high-speed optical fiber or wireless backhaul.
In June 2019, Globe Telecom introduced the Philippines’ first next-generation network, and in December 2019, AT&T launched a consumer service in the United States that expanded nationwide during 2020. Commercial 5G deployment expanded rapidly through 2020.
The marketing of non-5G services refers to the promotion of enhanced 4G networks that are presented as precursors or equivalents to 5G. Some mobile network operators marketed upgraded 4G technologies using terms that suggested 5G capability.
Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949. In 2011-2015, it underwent a reconstruction that converted it into a pumped-storage hydroelectric power station. In recent decades, renewable energy efforts in Liechtenstein have also branched out into solar energy production.
Liechtenstein has used hydroelectric power stations since the 1920s as its primary source of domestic energy production. By 2018, the country had 12 hydroelectric power stations in operation (4 conventional/pumped-storage and 8 fresh water power stations). Hydroelectric power production accounted for roughly 18 - 19% of domestic needs.
Lawena Power Station is the oldest in the country, opened in 1927. The power station underwent reconstructions in 1946 and 1987. Today, it also includes a small museum on the history of electricity production in Liechtenstein. Samina Power Station, currently the largest of the domestic power stations, has been operational since December 1949.
Liechtenstein's national power company is Liechtensteinische Kraftwerke (LKW, Liechtenstein Power Stations), which operates the country's existing power stations, maintains the electric grid and provides related services. In 2010, the country's domestic electricity production amounted to 80,105 MWh.

Early telecommunications were owned by large foreign firms until the industry was nationalized in the 1970s. Government stifled criticism with a tight control of the media, and the infrastructure lagged behind other countries, Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T) holding a monopoly on most such services.
The three major ISPs in Guyana were GTT, Digicel and E-Networks. In 2021, the government made licensing exemptions for small ISPs, to encourage private-sector telecommunications development.
In 2016, Parliament ended the telephone monopoly of Guyana Telephone and Telegraph. Main lines: Over 150,000 lines in use, 131st in the world; fixed-line teledensity is about 18 per 100 persons (2019).
