Seychelles has a highly active and growing information communication technology sector that encompasses fixed and mobile telephony as well as broadband internet. The country's mobile network has evolved significantly over the years, with a notable shift from 2G and 3G services to the rapid expansion of long-term evolution (LTE) technology. This transition has been driven by the need for mobile connectivity, IoT, cloud services, and smartphones to maintain revenue and profit for telecom operators.

Historically, Seychelles has experienced a slowdown in the use of fixed lines, while mobile penetration has accelerated. The market is dominated by Airtel Seychelles, which controls about 50% of the local market in mobile telephony and internet. Other significant players include Cable & Wireless, the oldest provider in the country, and Intelvision, a recent home-grown entrant to the market. Around 79% of all residents have access to the internet, with 33,000 internet subscriptions, nearly all of which are broadband, serving approximately 97,000 people living in about 25,000 households. Approximately 58% of the population uses the internet on a regular or intermittent basis, indicating a sizable population that does not have access to or may not utilize the internet, primarily the elderly, individuals with limited education, and those who cannot afford internet access.
