"We realize that each stakeholder will have an equally important role in encouraging the implementation of 5G in Indonesia," director of telecommunications at the Directorate General of Post and Information Technology at the ministry, Ayu Widyasari, said during a virtual event on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Communications and Informatics itself will have a role in providing direction for technology development, providing regulations, providing equal business space, facilitating ecosystem development, and orchestrating the development of information and communication technology, she said.
Meanwhile, ministries or institutions will play a role in providing facilities in their respective sectors, she added. The local government will play a role in facilitating the development of supporting infrastructure, she continued.
