Access to cellular phone signals and internet around homes is still unevenly distributed among Indonesians, especially those living in remote, outermost, and forward areas (3T). This is based on findings from a collaborative survey report by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC), titled *Digital Literacy Status in Indonesia 2022*.
The report states that 88% of respondents in 3T areas reported having cellular phone signals around their homes. This is similar to non-3T areas, where the majority reported the same, but with a higher proportion of respondents at 94%.
“Meanwhile, about 12% of respondents (in 3T areas) admitted to not having a cellular phone signal, with the majority of these respondents coming from Timor Tengah Selatan Regency,” stated the Ministry of Kominfo and KIC.
On the other hand, a smaller proportion of respondents in non-3T areas, only 6%, reported not having a cellular phone signal.
The Kominfo-KIC survey also found that the majority of respondents in both 3T and non-3T areas access the internet using mobile phone data.
“This allows respondents to access the internet wherever they are. However, challenges are still felt by all respondents in 3T areas, especially regarding unstable networks,” stated the Ministry of Kominfo in its report.
The Ministry of Kominfo and KIC conducted this survey on 10,000 internet users aged 13-70 years, spread across 34 provinces and 514 regencies/cities in Indonesia. Of note, 51% of respondents were male, and 49% were female.
The survey was conducted from August to September 2022 through face-to-face interviews. Sampling was done using multistage random sampling, with a margin of error of approximately 0.98% and a 95% confidence interval.
Respondents had diverse backgrounds, including housewives, entrepreneurs, employees, students, farmers, and others. The complete report on this survey can be accessed and downloaded via the link: https://survei.literasidigital.id/.
