133,000 Papuans Merindungan Telecommunication Network



Andronexus.blogspot.com, Jakarta - Location Bintang Mountains district that is in the mountain range Jayawijaya , make the area has limitations in the infrastructure development.

in fact, the development of infrastructure in the area is very important considering the condition of the field is heavy and its strategic position in the center of the island of Papua, which borders with Papua New Guinea.

"But the infrastructure constraints in Pegunungan this star is a little helped by the existence of telecommunications infrastructure constructed by the operator," Head of the Department of Population and Civil Registration Pegunungan Bintang, Untung Eka Priya.

Through a statement on Monday (5 / 9/2016) in Jakarta, Untung said that after the presence of telecommunications facilities in the city in 2004 Oksibil, Bintang Mountains district has begun to open. Relations with the outside world can even occur.

Prior to the telecommunications network, people who want to communicate information should be conveyed in the relay from village to village. After that followed the spread of such information to other districts using a radio network Single Side Band (SSB) which is owned by the military.

The number of districts in the Bintang Mountains district amounted to 34 districts. Besides the numbers are still small, the capacity of telecommunications networks is also built fairly limited.

Untung said capacity telecommunications network in Bintang Mountains district only 120 handset only.

"If you exceed 120 handset, Telkomsel will be disrupted," he said.

Because there is still a lack of telecommunications infrastructure networks are inadequate in its territory, Untung also deplored the statement of the Minister of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT) wrapped up in January before the Commission I of Parliament some time ago.

"As to who ordered Telkomsel to build in remote areas, the statement is very painful and offensive to people in Pegunungan Stars," she regretted.

MCIT rated insensitive to the suffering of people in remote and isolated areas that exist throughout Indonesia.

"Do people in Papua is not part of the Homeland? MCIT pack dare not talk like that in front of the Bintang Mountains Regency society? If you dare, then the risk will be separated from the Homeland Papua. During this time the people of Papua are always screaming asking for independence in the absence of equitable development, "said Lucky.

He said that the commitment to build telecommunications networks carried out by operators in the region are still not sufficient. It is not enough Telkomsel are serving. Other operators were asked to participate to build on its territory.

Fortunately, even begged MCIT would encourage other telecom operators to be telecommunications infrastrktur menggembangkan in Bintang Mountains district. So that the isolation in Bintang Mountains district can be reduced so that the community's economy, amounting to 133 thousand people it could also increase.

"We missed Indosat and XL to contribute to building telecommunications network in Bintang Mountains district. For telecommunication has become a major requirement for people in Bintang Mountains, according to the Nawa Cita President Jokowi, "he hoped.
