Jakarta, INTI - The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs (Kemkomdigi) has built 1,282 fixed broadband internet access points as part of the Kampung Internet (Internet Village) program to ensure equitable internet connectivity in village areas.
"In 2025, we successfully established 1,282 internet access points in 22 villages, 10 regencies, 15 sub-districts, and 6 provinces," said Alfreno Kautsar Ramadhan, Special Advisor to Kemkomdigi, at a press conference in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, on Tuesday.
Alfreno explained that the Kampung Internet program focuses on providing internet networks in villages to support household activities, micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSMEs) businesses, and public facilities. Through this program, the government can provide inclusive, high-quality, and affordable internet connectivity.
Digital Talent Development
In addition to expanding internet access, Alfreno stated that the program is also aimed at improving the human resource capacity of local communities so they can utilize digitalization productively.
Kemkomdigi conducted technical training for vocational high school (SMK) students on fiber optic network assembly, telecommunications infrastructure operation, and basic troubleshooting. There is also a Telko Hub program aimed at increasing employment after participants complete the training. Through this program, graduates will be connected to the telecommunications industry.
Before the availability of fixed broadband networks, some people in villages had to travel 5 to 7 kilometers to get a stable internet connection. With this program, residents can have easier internet access.
Conclusion
The Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs has built 1,282 fixed broadband access points through the Kampung Internet program to expand connectivity to rural areas. This program not only provides affordable, high-quality internet access for households, MSMEs, and public facilities, but also improves the community's digital skills through technical training and employment opportunities through the Telko Hub initiative.
