The Jakarta Communication, Information,  and Statistic (Kominfotik) Agency has noted that as many as 9,250 spots in Jakarta have been facilitated with the free WiFi program, dubbed JakWiFi program from August 28 until now.

Hope it can accelerate digital transformation in all sectors

Those 9,250 spots are consisting of 2,451 spots in Central Jakarta, 2,222 spots in South Jakarta, 1,649 spots in West Jakarta, 1,390 spots in East Jakarta, 1,88 spots in North Jakarta, and 50 spots in Seribu Islands.

They are available in government buildings, government service offices, parks, RPTRAs, public schools, public spaces, and areas where free internet service providers are inaccessible or unattractive. Each spot can be accessible by 30 to 50 people.

"4,553 spots are through City Budget (APBD), 565 are through CSR, and 4,132 are through molecool," disclosed Data Communication Network Division Head Aditia Prana Kusuma, Wednesday (3/30).

He explained it was provided through three schemes consisting of APBD, collaboration, and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of private companies. The Jakarta administration would still expand JakWiFi's free internet access locations.

"We're still looking for opportunities for CSR and mapping of the application areas for JakWiFi installation," he said.

To access such spots, residents can first download the JAKI application via Play Store or App Store.

"Hope it can accelerate digital transformation in all sectors, especially education, economy, government, and public communication," he hoped.
