During the presidential campaigns over the last couple of weeks, the public has seen debates and discussions on a number of critical issues facing Indonesia. Both presidential candidates have put forward their proposals for what will they do over the next five years in various sectors including trade, the economy in general, food security, and energy.
Unfortunately, however, it appears that the telecommunications sector to be forgotten, with neither presidential candidate making any reference it. This lack of attention to the telecommunications sector has been noted by Mas Wigrantoro Roes Setiyadi, Chairman of the Indonesian Telematics Community (Mastel).
“Both presidential candidates did not address telecommunications issues, so maybe to them it is not important. It seems that they have no interest in it at all,” said Mr. Setiyadi.
Mr. Setyadi questioned whether or not either of the presidential candidates is committed to developing the sector. While it may currently be being underrated, the telecommunications sector plays a significant role that directly affects Indonesia’s economic growth.
Regardless of the current lack of interest from both candidates, Mr. Setiyadi expressed his hopes that the new administration will place emphasis on telecommunications issues.
“In the future, we very much hope that the new administration can see the telecommunications sector as an important one, and must have a clear-cut roadmap for it. On the one hand, it is a vital contributor to the economic growth, while on the other hand, it must be treated as a defense and security facility that is directly related to political issues,” said Mr. Setyadi.
Mr. Setyadi further added that telecommunications play a significant role in the general development of Indonesia’s human resources and is essential for facing the impending ASEAN Economic Community that will commence late next year.
Even the current administration, according to Mr. Setyadi, has also overlooked the significance of developing the telecommunications sector. Until the twilight of his presidency, President Yudhoyono and his administration have failed to deliver a number of promises for the telecommunications sector, including the construction of broadband and 4G LTE networks.
“What can we do if the President is not interested?” mused Mr. Setyadi.
The development of the telecommunications sector is included into the 2011 – 2025 Master Plan for Expediting and Expanding Indonesian Economic Growth (MP3EI) as regulated under Presidential Regulation No. 32 of 2011, as amended by Presidential Regulation No. 48 of 2014.
The current administration has also recognized the telecommunications sector as an essential industry to secure sustainable economic growth, as evident in Presidential Regulation No. 28 of 2008on National Industry Policy.
As part of the development of the telecommunications sector, the target for this year is that 30 percent of the Indonesian population will have access to broadband internet. As of 2013, the total number of internet users in Indonesia was 71.19 million individuals, and expected to reach 139 million in 2015.
