President Joko Widodo inaugurated the Palapa Ring national strategic project, also known as the "Sky Toll," on Monday (October 14th). Construction of this infrastructure began in 2016. Through this project, the government aims to connect various remote areas in Indonesia to the internet.

This internet connectivity project covers 57 regencies/cities across Indonesia. Priority areas are those categorized as outermost, foremost, and outermost regions (3T). The project, divided into Western, Central, and Eastern Packages, comprises 127 locations.

The Palapa Ring is expected to increase mobile phone penetration in the designated locations. Potential mobile phone penetration is estimated at 69% in the Western Package, 55% in the Central Package, and 33% in the Eastern Package.
