When Glenn and I looked at this a while ago we tried to focus on populations getting the LEAST representation or with the poorest Internet access. I wish we could focus on getting them engaged and not deciding which imaginary line they're across.

American Samoa are US National and not US citizen by birth so they do not have the same territorial status as Puerto Rico.

Sure we do: Hispanic Educational Technology Services and ISOC Puerto Rico.

It's not surprising that you can't find ALS in the other territories,
since they're all very small. There are about 3.5 million people in
Puerto Rico. The rest are Guam with 165K, USVI with 104K, American Samoa
with 55K, and CNMI with 53K. All the other insular areas are uninhabited
other than the occasional scientific or military station.

PS: PR is called a Commonwealth, but that mans that it's an organized
unincorporated territory, same as CNMI.
