Indonesia has completed the last leg of a 13,000-km (8,080 mile) #fiberoptic network that will bring high-speed #internet to some of its easternmost regions, including Papua.
The cable to carry #telecommunication, which goes via land and under the sea, as well as microwave transmissions and telco towers, cost 7.63 trillion rupiah ($540.18 million) to build.
President Joko Widodo said the project should provide “a sense of justice” for Indonesians who live in the eastern part of the country, because they will be able to access internet with the same speed as others in Southeast Asia’s largest economy.
