JAKARTA - Some time ago, Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi said his plan to set a fixed broadband internet minimum speed limit in Indonesia to 100 Mbps.

Responding to the statement of the Minister of Communication and Information, the Director General of Post and Information at the Ministry of Communication and Information, Wayan Toni Supriyanto, said that they were conducting a study on the policy.

"So, the minister wants Indonesia to have a very large internet speed predicate compared to other countries. Then at this time the regulations that will be made certainly cannot, must go through input from operators, the public, and so on," Wayan told the media on Wednesday, January 31.

Until now, Wayan admitted that he, especially at the Directorate of PPI Kominfo, is still trying to collect proposals from various parties, as well as looking for the best advice from other telecommunications providers.

"We are looking for input from operators, what kind of policy will it be. For example, whether it will be gradual, whether it will be simultaneously within a period of several years. We are currently still in a position to seek input from communication providers," he added.

In essence, Wayan emphasized, this policy is later expected not to burden one party, be it users/community or existing telecommunications operators.

"Well, we haven't been able to answer that (increase prices), because later according to operator input at this rate, even more, the tariff can be lowered. This is all business, so we can't answer it yet," concluded Wayan
