Palapa Ring
• Establishing Fiber Optic Back
Bone
• At the end of 2011, there are 323 of 497
(64,98%) districts has been connected with
Backbone Palapa Ring, and will be 85% in
2014.

14. Impact to National Development
Direct Impact
• Increase the internet penetration within country
• Increase information delivery to rural
communities with affordable and fast access of
internet
• Help in public service such as e-identity or e-KTP
service, statistic survey, information
dissemination of government program, school,
commodity prices, local potential , and tourism
(Fajar Newspaper July 2012)

15. Impact to National Development
Indirect Impact
• Economic : Increasing economic growth
- Internet contribute 1,6 % of Gross Domestic Product in Indonesia,
compare to liquefied natural gas that contribute 1,4% (Delloite Access
Economic Cited in Ministry of Communication and Information News, 2012)
- Information and Communication Technology sector (ICT) in
Indonesia is one of the most dynamic sectors of the economy
contributing most to GDP growth rate (around 16%) than any other
sector. (Djalil, ICT Expert in interviewed of, 2007)
• Health: Improved quality and effectiveness of
government and private health systems
Indonesia GHI Country Strategy :Improved Health Impact through
Collaboration (HSWG Health Sector Working Group,August 2011)

16. Key Implementation Challenges
M-PLIK Project
Resource in Local Government
• Lack of budget for daily operation in local government to pay driver,
operator, and maintenance And competent human resource for operate
M-PLIK
• It was happened in Gorontalo (a province in east ), the Governor
Province refused 50 units of M-PLIK (Liputan 6 New, October 2012).
Issues on Procurement Process
• Suspicion on Corruption - delay on 174 units which still not finish
(Jakarta Newspaper, 2012). The bidding winner for M-PLIK was
blamed and suspicious on direct appointment of procurement issues.

17. Lesson learned
• We learn that ICT could become a major
contributor for increasing in GDP rates
 10% increase in a nation’s broadband access, the country will
experience a 1.3% increase in their economic growth (Kelly –
Policy Expert at World Bank Cited in Savageu Blog, 2010)
• We figure out that internet access is important
for all of citizens including the rural
communities
• Indonesia can be a model for another country
which consists of many islands and developing
countries
