Indonesia's Wifi Access Innovation Indonesia’s WiFi Access Innovation Divakar Goswami & Onno Purbo Indonesia overview •World's largest archipelago-17,000 islands •Poses a challenge in rolling out communication infrastructure and providing access to 241 million inhabitants of Indonesia, 4th most populous country in the world. Project Objectives n What are the conditions that gave rise to WiFi becoming the access technology of choice for Internet in Indonesia? n Can WiFi access innovation in Indonesia be replicated in other developing countries? n What steps need to be taken for higher Internet growth in Indonesia? n Will highlight lessons learnt from Indonesian study that have regulatory relevance. What is WiFi? n Many countries (USA, EU, Indonesia etc.) have unlicensed portion of 2.4 Ghz (2400 Mhz to 2483.5 Mhz) including use of spread spectrum technology for uncoordinated sharing of band. n 5Ghz to unlicense or not? 5.8 Ghz suitable for long range communication. n Industry developed IEEE 802.11 (2Mbps), 802.11b (11Mbps) and 802.11g (54Mbps) standards for high rate data transmission. ¨ Advantages: Quick deployment time, low-cost, minimal rights of way needed, “free” bandwidth. ¨ Disadvantage: Prone to interference, weather conditions, steep range/bandwidth tradeoff, doesn’t offer carrier class reliability.

  • The Indonesian Archipelago's IT Growth on the Path to the Digital Economy Era MOHAMMAD YASIN
    The Indonesian Archipelago's IT Growth on the Path to the Digital Economy Era MOHAMMAD YASIN Preface Indonesia is still struggling to overcome its weak macroeconomic condition, reflected in a budget deficit that threatens macro stability and both international and domestic market confidence in the government's medium-term policies for restoring the economy. The exchange rate appreciated about 18.7 percent between February and December 1999 and then depreciated by around 29 percent from January to December 2000 due to domestic and political instability. The open unemployment rate reached 6.3% in 2000, up from 4.5% in 1999, while the inflation rate increased from 2.01% in 1999 to 9.35% for 2000. Policies for the medium -term include stabilizing the exchange rate, reducing the inflation rate, creating more jobs, and maintaining economic growth. Despite the internal macroeconomic problems, Indonesia's growth reached 4.77% up from 0.5% in 1999, primarily due to firm oil prices, rising exports of non-primary goods, and a moderate upturn in investment. Also, there were noticeable steps made toward re-capitalizing, restructuring, and consolidating the banking system. At 3.8% of GDP, the current account surplus was slightly below the 1999 level of 4.8%. Despite the country's economic problems, the flow of information through information technology could not be stopped. This new technology has been put to use in almost every segment of human activity from electronic commerce to education, medicine, transportation, tourism, the environment, and entertainment. As a country comprised of many islands with a land area as large as that of the United States, Indonesia has encountered a lot of problems in preparing its population for global competition in the new era of the digital economy.

  • Global Coordinates of Internet Histories
    INTRODUCTION: GLOBAL COORDINATES OF INTERNET HISTORIES Gerard Goggin and Mark McLelland In: Routledge Companion to Global Internet Histories, edited by Gerard Goggin and Mark McLelland New York: Routledge, 2016 Info at: https://www.routledge.com/The-Routledge-Companion-to-Global-Internet-Histories/Goggin- McLelland/p/book/9781138812161 Introduction Nearly five decades since the Internet’s official launch in 1969, its historical study is finally gathering momentum. As this book appears, so too does a new scholarly journal devoted to the area entitled Internet Histories.1 Other markers of development include several significant edited volumes and journal special issues, many more academic papers, and dedicated book-length studies. In the spirit of the medium, and the emergence of digital humanities and social sciences, and associated e-research, we can also point to growing digital resources, online history sites, resources, archives, and data sets. Arguably, however, it is still the case that available Internet histories in the anglophone world have predominately focused on North American or European experiences, and then only some aspects of these. For instance, scholarly work on the early history of the Internet in the United States has been established for some time. In her Inventing the Internet, Janet Abbate charts the origin of the Internet, especially through the ARPANET, and how the technology developed in conjunction with its meanings (Abbate 1999). Patrice Flichy takes up the heyday of 1990s US cyberculture, best symbolized by the avidly read Wired Magazine (Flichy 2007). In his From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, the Whole Earth Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism, Fred Turner explores the linking of military- industrial research culture with counterculture in the emergence of computer networks and digital cultures – something that developed long before the Internet appears publicly (Turner 2006: 9).
