The Dominican Telecommunications Institute (INDOTEL) says that 70% of people living in the DR have a phone. Department director Jose Rafael Vargas said recently that 5,780,028 cell phones were in operation as of the end of March 2008, compared to 705,431 in 2000. Of these 99.7% are digital phones. The spiraling growth in cell phone use compares to the relatively stagnant growth in residential lines. In 2008, there were 621,408 residential lines, up from 592,285 in 2000.
Vargas said that 39% of Dominicans now have an internet connection. There are 278,778 Internet accounts in March 2008, up from 52,761 in 2000. By installing community Internet centers, INDOTEL has strived to reduce the digital divide.
