State of Internet Access in Guatemala: From City Wi-Fi to Satellite Lifelines

Starlink launched in Guatemala in June 2024, offering 100–200 Mbps speeds for around $65–72 monthly. Spectrum auctions in 2023 raised $176 million, with Tigo and Claro securing most licenses. As of early 2024, internet penetration reached about 60%, but rural coverage lags, with only 10% of rural households online. Tigo and Claro dominate the market, operating nationwide 3G/4G networks.

  • Crude Oil Prices Rise Amid Strait of Hormuz Closure and Geopolitical Tensions
    May 23, 2026, 6:17 PM EDT. Crude oil prices rebounded on Friday, with July WTI crude closing up 0.26% and RBOB gasoline rising 2.31%. The ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route for about 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas, due to US-Iran conflicts, is disrupting global supplies and supporting higher prices. Despite slight progress in peace talks, significant disagreements linger, notably Iran's refusal to send enriched uranium abroad. Additional geopolitical risks include Pakistan's military deployment to Saudi Arabia and drone attacks on UAE and Saudi energy facilities. The International Energy Agency warns the oil market remains "severely undersupplied," and Goldman Sachs estimates a 14.5 million barrels per day output cut in the Persian Gulf. OPEC plans to continue raising production quotas, aiming to restore halted output by September's end.
