On the same occasion, Minister of Communication and Information Technology Budi Arie Setiadi stated that to achieve the vision of an advanced Indonesia 2045, all aspects must be done early.Â
This includes the development and equitable distribution of internet networks in Indonesia.
"There are three aspects of connectivity that need to be considered, namely capacity, coverage, and quality," Minister Setiadi said.Â
On the capacity aspect, Indonesia still needs to catch up with other countries. The average internet speed in Indonesia is still at 22 Mbps.Â
In terms of coverage, internet penetration in Indonesia has only reached 78 percent. This means that there are still 22 percent of Indonesia's population who don’t have internet access.
"This condition mainly happens in the 3T (Frontier, Outermost, Remote, and Disadvantaged) areas," the Minister informed.Â
In terms of quality, the internet in Indonesia also still needs to be improved. There are still many areas in Indonesia that experience internet signal interference, especially in mountainous and watery areas.
The forum also revealed Indonesia's progress under the leadership of President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) and Vice President Ma'ruf Amin over the past ten years.Â
Such as Indonesia's increasing role in various international forums, such as the G20, and ASEAN, and Indonesia's election as a non-permanent member of the UN Security Council.
