Editing Communications in Niue (section)

== Internet service ==

[[Niue]] has free Internet service through the efforts of the Internet Users Society Niue, established 1999.  However users need to pay NZD$25 to a local IT company to register the [[MAC address]] of their [[WiFi]] card before being able to log into this WiFi network.

Alternatively, where ADSL is available, users can have connections through Telecom Niue's Internet Services located at Alofi through their island-wide distributed wireline.

=== .nu Internet domain ===

The [[.nu]] [[TLD]] is assigned to Niue.

Niue, through an outside company, registers [[Internet]] [[top-level domain|domain names]], so most .nu [[web address]]es are not actually located in Niue. They are commonly used by Danish, Dutch and Swedish websites, because in those languages 'nu' means “[[:wikt:now|now]]”.

Niue was the first country in the world to plan on offering free nationwide [[WiFi]] [[internet access]], more than five million websites are available/accessible in Niue, using the funds provided by the domain registrations. 79.6% of Niueans were internet users in 2022.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://datareportal.com/reports/digital-2022-niue |title=Digital 2022: Niue |publisher=DataReportal |access-date=5 November 2022}}</ref>
