  2. Current Global Situation • Convergence of of computing, communication and content (3C). • The three cannot be separated. Content Communication Computing

  3. Current Global Situation Internet Explosion • Internet creates new opportunities and challenges

  4. Current Global Situation Internet Explosion in Asia • Started in Silicon Valley, now the wave is moving to Asia!(Business Week, Asia Week, and other Asia publications reported this phenomena) • New cybermoguls in Asia • Masayoshi Son (Japan) • Richard Li (Hongkong) • ??? (Indonesia)

  5. Global Challenges • Human Resources • Standards • Law and regulation

  6. Global Challenges Human Resources • Issues • Shortage of IT professionals(e.g. Silicon Valley still needs more people) • How to develop capable human resources in a short period of time

  7. Global Challenges Standards • Standards • Equipment, protocols • TCP/IP is the de-facto standard • Other “standards”: SMTP, HTTP, NNTP, X.509, GSM, CDMA, etc. (too many standards) • Open vs. proprietary standards • Compatibility between different systems

  8. Global Challenges Law and regulation • The removal of “time and space” barrier changes law • Which law to use if there is a global dispute? • The need to have cyberlaw

  9. Indonesia Issues • Market size • Human Resources • Technology Transfer • Standards • Road Map

  10. Indonesia Issues Market size • Indonesia Internet statistics • ISP licenses: 46Operational ISP: 35 • Internet subscribers: 250.000Users (including corporate, warnet, sharing): 500.000 • MARS Indonesia survey:Indonesia Internet growth: 23%/year2003 subscribers: 740.0002003 users: 2.2 millionsAPJII’s target: 5 million (2002)

  11. Indonesia Issues Internet wave is in Indonesia! • Indonesia Portals • Astaga! • Detik.com • Plasa.com • Suatunet • Web88888 • Venture Capitals are entering Indonesia

  12. Indonesia Issues Human Resources • Opportunity • Potential to produce [IT] professionals for local and global demand • Challenges • Current limitations: number and quality • Lack of English capability • Can we compete with India and China to supply the global demand of technology professionals?

  13. Indonesia Issues Human Resources [cont.] • Strategies • Link with global players in education, research, training, worker placement (e.g.. career placement office in universities) • Develop world-class education and training centers: The need to have world-class Science & Technology Universities • Send technology professionals abroad (brain reserve not brain drain)

  14. Indonesia Issues Technology transfer • Challenges • Access to technology know how, access to information • Internet access is important • Weak in Intellectual Property Rights

  15. Indonesia Issues Standards • Challenges • Many standards! (e.g. standar in wireless phones GSM, AMPS, NMT, CDMA) • Which one to choose?

  16. Indonesia Issues Road Map • Geographical diversity • Telecommunication, especially wireless and satellite, technology is crucial • Remote sensing, GIS, GPS • Indonesia must master these technologies

  17. Indonesia Issues Wireless Technology • Wireless networked digital devices:a new paradigm for computing and communication • http://www.research.ibm.com/journal/sj/384/zimmerman.html

  18. Wireless Technology Opportunities • Potential business with the growth of cellular phones • Opportunities in the following technology: • Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) • Bluetooth

  19. Wireless technology World situation • Europeans are ahead in technology • Siemens, Nokia, Ericsson • Japan is ahead in application • NTT Docomo I-mode • Must link with global players (such as institutions in Germany)

  20. Concluding Remarks • Grab opportunities. No second chance. • Link & collaboration with global players in wireless technology (such as with industries and institutions in Germany, e.g. Siemens) is important • Where do we go from here? • We need to achieve something real • Initiative: Bandung High Tech Valley
