JAKARTA - Commission I DPR RI supports the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kemkominfo) to prepare comprehensive 5G technology support policies. The policy covers regulatory aspects, frequency spectrum, infrastructure, equipment aspects, ecosystem, and digital talent.

"So that 5G technology is able to provide optimal benefits to the community and grow the digital economy sector in Indonesia," said Deputy Chairman of Commission I of the Indonesian Parliament Bambang Kristiono while reading the conclusions of the DPR Commission I Working Meeting (Raker) with Kominfo at the DPR Building, Jakarta, Wednesday, 7 April.

The House of Representatives Commission I, he continued, also asked the Ministry of Communication and Information to conduct an analysis and study of policies for implementing 5G to minimize its negative impact. He also encourages the ministry led by Jhonny G. Plate so that 5G governance is able to create domestic potential opportunities optimally.

"Kominfo must also synergize with the program to accelerate digital transformation and prepare a road map for digitization and implementation of ASO migration on time in November 2022," said Bambang.

The communication and informatics commission also asked the Ministry of Communication and Information to continue cooperation with central government agencies, local governments, the industrial sector, and various parties related to 5G technology so that synergy is created.

"Commission I DPR also asked Kominfo to carry out a digital literacy program on an ongoing basis so that people can make good use of technology," he said.
