Presidential candidate number 3 Ganjar Pranowo promised Free Internet Program if he won the 2024 presidential election. He voiced this when in front of hundreds of millennials in Sragen Regency, Central Java.

Ganjar Pranowo, who is active in the Solo Raya area, took the time to meet Sragen youth at the Wiyas Krikilan Baskamp, Sragen Regency, Sunday, December 24, evening.

The enthusiasm of the young people is increasing when talking to the presidential candidate paired with Vice President Mahfud Md, especially when describing one of the mainstay programs, namely the super fast and free internet for students.

"Here, the majority of students are here, right? Usually, if you buy internet quota, how much a month has passed?," asked Ganjar quoting Antara.

Dergina (20), one of Sragen's young people, said that the average internet quota for young people is IDR 100,000 per month, but the quota is sometimes still lacking, so you have to look for wifi in public places.

"Sometimes the signal is also slow, sir, making browsing or uploading is difficult," he said.

Ganjar then said he would create a fast and even internet network to all corners of the country.

In addition, the internet in the future must be super fast so that people can easily access various information.

"And specifically for students, we free the super fast internet. I think I agree that the internet is fast and free," asked Ganjar again.

He said that the Indonesian people are one of the largest internet accessors in the world, but internet access has not been evenly distributed to remote areas and the speed of access is still far behind other countries.

"If the internet is evenly distributed and super fast, imagine that many young people will emerge with their creative ideas. Our digital industry will grow and young people will compete to explain their respective creations and innovations," he said.

Especially for students, Ganjar reasoned that internet access must be free so that students in Indonesia do not stutter for technology and can learn wherever they are.

"But don't misuse it. Parents must supervise so that hoaxes do not occur or are used according to their designation," he said.
