Introduction

• In early 2003, an exciting development took place
  in the IT industry with the consolidation of a
  federation by four IT industry associations
  Internet Service Providers Association (APJII),
  Computer Business Association (APKOMINDO),
  Telematic Software Association (ASPILUKI), and
  Association of Animators (ANIMA)
• The federation was needed to bring about
• a greater coordination in IT and Communications
  convergence and to produce a better synergy
• a greater cooperation through a single point of
  contact for domestic and international relations.

Information Technology and Convergence

• Information Technology (IT) is rapidly converging
  with Communications and Computing Technologies
  such that a new agglomerated industry has
  emerged. It is interchangably called just IT,
  IT Communications (ITC in the European Union)
  or Information Communications Technology (ICT in
  the United States), Telematika or Infokom in
  the Indonesian language.
• ITs are now essential tools for competitiveness
  in the business world and commerce (e-commerce),
  for improving a better delivery of government
  services and for achieving good governance for
  private and government agencies (e-government).

10
Information Society is both a description and an
aspiration

• For we live today in an era in which information
  is omnipresent, through newspapers, radio,
  television and the Internet in which information
  is
• transforming the ways we live, learn, work and
  relate
• Indispensablefor health, agriculture, education
  and trade, and for cultivating the engaged and
  learned citizenry that is essential for democracy
  to work.
• Description turns to aspiration when we consider
  what to do with the masses of information and
  knowledge increasingly at our disposalhow to
  make it serve some greater purpose, be it peace,
  development, human rights, global harmony or all
  these together.
• What is new today are the technologies are
  dramatically accelerating its global
  dissemination. These technologies are a
  tremendous force for creating opportunities, and
  for integrating people and nations into the
  global economy.

11
Information Society and the Digital Divide

• But too many of the worlds people remain
  untouched by the information revolution.
• A ltltdigital dividegtgt threatens to exacerbate
  already wide gaps between rich and poor, within
  and among countries.
• The technologies are also raising important
  social and other concerns from privacy rights and
  freedom of expression to the ability of local and
  indigenous voices to be heard in an era of media
  concentration and mass culture. Mr. Kofi A.
  Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations at
  the World Summit on Information Society, Geneva,
  2003.
• FTII aims to encourage all Indonesians to develop
  a shared vision of an information society that
  empowers and benefits all people, to forge
  partnerships and to make specific connections
  between information technologies and the
  Millennium Development Goals (MDG) which can
  bridge the digital divide in Indonesia (for MDG
  see www.itu.int/wsis).

12
Indonesia shows potential in realizing the
Information Society

• The growing gap between the information-rich and
  the information-poor can only be bridged by
  concrete interventions. Pure declarations of
  goodwill will not be enough. The World Summit
  Award (WSA) is the first attempt within the
  global information society to evaluate and honour
  the best multimedia realisations from all over
  the world. Prof. Peter A. Bruck, a distinguished
  researcher and the catalyst for WSA at the ICT
  for Development (ICT4D) event at the first WSIS.
• Among 40 Best Products in 8 Catagories from 136
  Countries and 803 Entries, the Indonesian product
  ORISINAL Morning Sunshine was chosen in the
  e-Entertainment category which was showcased at
  the gala event in the WSIS, Geneva, December 2003
  (see www.wsis-award.org)

13
Indonesia can seize the opportunities of
Information Society

• Opportunity created by foreign direct investment
  (FDI) to (a) build infrastructure (b) launch ICT
  projects, (c) partner with donor organizations,
  and (d) tap undevelop markets.
• Privatizing and liberalizing monopoly providers
  to introduce competition, lower prices, and
  advance the deployment and utilization of ICTs.
• Attracting data processing applications such as
  data entry, customer service and telemarketing
  operations, records processing (accounts
  receivable, accounts payable, general ledger,
  etc.), order entry, investory control, databank
  development, data storage operations, remote
  systems administration, etc.
• Attracting Internet FDI start-up companies,
  e-commerce operations, software development and
  outsourcing centers
• Developing telemedicine and health care centers.

14
Indonesia can seize the opportunities of
Information Society

• Using ICTs for distance learning, education,
  unemployment database and workforce skills.
• Using ICTs for agri-business and agriculture
  information and industry sector support.
• Attracting light manufacturing operations.
• Modernizing the financial sector.
• Fostering the growth of small and medium-sized
  enterprises (SMEs) to spur job creation,
  innovation, flexibility and competitiveness.
• Reforming and automating court administration and
  case management and availability of judicial
  information.
• Developing effective networks in Indonesia with
  security and affordability free from virus, spam
  and post 9/11 concerns.
• Each of these opportunities is dependent upon
  the development of the public policy, legal and
  regulatory framework to support the above
  activities. They form the underlying foundation
  of government support for ICTs and a favorable
  business environment.
