Nono Is Proof of the Importance of Fast Internet in Indonesia
Based on data compiled by the Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kemkominfo) in February 2022, as many as 12,548 villages and urban villages in Indonesia do not yet have 4G internet access. This data also informs that as many as 150,000 public service points in Indonesia have not received adequate internet access. Of course this is something that is unfortunate considering the development of technology that continues to advance and the entry of 5G technology. This is due to the uneven development of telecommunications infrastructure. Nowadays, there are still many who think that fast and stable internet access is not something that should be of concern to the government, of course this opinion is wrong. In today's era, the internet is one of the basic needs. Fast and stable internet not only to facilitate communication but also to open up and provide equal opportunities without worrying about location. One example is what Caesar Archangels Hendrik Meo Tnunay or more familiarly called Nono has achieved. Elementary school students from Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara who won the International Abacus World Competition 2022. This world-class mathematics competition was attended by Nono online. Without having to go out of town or abroad, Nono participated in this competition and won first place and made Indonesia proud. It turns out that this is not the first time Nono has participated in this competition. In 2021, Nono had already participated in the competition but failed to win first place. Technical obstacles caused by a slow internet connection made Nono, who had the opportunity to become the first winner, have to be complacent by becoming the third place. Only in 2022, Nono won first place. This is a testament to how important fast and stable internet is. Dedicated Internet to Maximize The Potential of StudentsThere are already many businesses and companies that use dedicated internet services to ensure operations run smoothly and without significant disruption. But there are still not many schools or campuses that utilize dedicated internet services to maximize the potential possessed by students. Reflecting on what Nono has achieved, here are some reasons why schools and campuses must use dedicated internet services: Opening the Door to Science and Information WideWith the internet,  now anyone can access various knowledge and information easily. Just by typing a keyword in a search engine, in a matter of a fraction of a second internet users will be flooded with information related to that keyword. Students who are hungry for knowledge and information will be greatly helped if schools and campuses use fast and stable dedicated internet services. Opportunity to Take Part in National and Even International StagesBefore the internet, students who were in remote areas or far from the capital did not have the same opportunities as those in the capital. This is partly due to the slow and uneven distribution of information. The existence of fast and stable internet allows anyone to access competition information, courses and various other opportunities from anywhere and anytime. It's like Nono already did. The more students who get fast and stable internet access will certainly cause more and more people to be interested in trying themselves by participating in various competitions and courses at the national and international levels.Streamlining the Teaching and Learning ProcessLearning from experience during the pandemic, if the face-to-face learning process cannot be done, schools and campuses now have another option, namely the online teaching and learning process. But not only that, the development of technology is rapidly changing various aspects of life including the educational aspect. Now many schools and campuses are adapting by using applications and Big Data to facilitate the teaching and learning process. Without fast and stable internet, of course, this cannot run. Realizing the many benefits and potentials presented by fast and stable internet access, Telkom Indonesia presents ASTINet high-speed dedicated internet services.
