Free internet for Niue
Niue is the only country in the world that provides internet services free to all users. Internet Niue provides the service to those parts of the island where most people live, work and have holidays. These services are free to all users once they have paid a $25 connection fee.
The WiFi network allows laptop, PC, iPhone, PSP, or other WiFi-enabled devices to go on-line anywhere on Niue where there is WiFi coverage.
Free internet access, which benefits both Niueans and visitors, is the result of a commitment to the Government of Niue by The IUSN Foundation, a US-based charitable foundation that uses revenue from the sale of .nu domain names to fund the services provided by Internet Niue. The Foundation was formerly known as the Internet Users Society – Niue.
