JAKARTA - Communication and Digital Minister Meutya Hafid emphasized that digital connectivity is no longer merely a supporting facility, but has become an essential public service.
Therefore, he emphasized the importance of collaboration between the government, telecommunications operators, industry, and working partners, so that the network is not only available, but present when it is most needed.
Meutya also emphasized that the digital space cannot be managed by one party. Policies only have an impact if they are carried out together and tested directly in the field.
"The digital world is not a space that can be guarded by one party. Regulations will not mean anything without compliance, and policies will not have an impact without the involvement of all parties. Synergy is the key, especially in sectors that move as fast as the digital realm," said Meutya in an official statement quoted Wednesday, December 24.
Minister of Communication and Information Meutya also gave an example of how collaboration is very important in handling telecommunications service disruptions when floods hit Aceh and Sumatra.
"What we see is not a report on paper. The team goes down to the field and moves quickly. This is an example of collaboration that works," said Meutya.
The impact of the collaboration can be seen from the achievement of network recovery. Services have recovered 99 percent in West Sumatra, 98 percent in North Sumatra, and 80 percent in Aceh.
According to him, field experience is an important mirror in policy formulation. Coordination not only discusses technical aspects, but also ensures that services are active as soon as possible in the affected areas.
