(ANTARA FOTO/Muhammad Iqbal/YU) Tangerang, Banten (ANTARA) – Minister of Communication and Informatics, Budi Arie Setiadi, said on Tuesday that during the last year of his leadership, his ministry has made several major achievements in digital transformation. He noted that the first accomplishment was the development of base transceiver stations (BTS). "By the end of last year, we completed around 5,000 BTS installations that had previously stalled," Setiadi said. The BTS inauguration at the end of 2023 was conducted directly by President Joko Widodo, coinciding with the launch of the Republic of Indonesia-1 Satellite (SATRIA-1). These digital infrastructures were built as part of efforts to ensure equitable connectivity, which serves as one of the foundations for national digital transformation, as outlined in the 2021–2024 Digital Indonesia Road Map. According to Setiadi, another significant achievement in Indonesia’s digital transformation has been the handling of online gambling. He emphasized that the progress in combating online gambling has been substantial, helping to reduce its prevalence by nearly 50 percent. "We are not yet fully satisfied with eradicating online gambling. Therefore, we continue to enhance our measures," he added. Data from the Ministry of […]
