Montserrat, a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean, is known for its challenging geographical conditions. The island is comprised of a single active volcano, the Soufrière Hills, which erupted in 1995, causing significant population displacement and impacting the infrastructure. Today, the northern part of the island is more densely inhabited due to volcanic activities in the south. Telecommunication services are provided by two main companies, Cable & Wireless and Digicel. The island's telecom sector is still developing, with the primary focus on improving mobile and broadband internet services.
