Satellite Internet in Indonesia
Asia-Pacific · Population: 277M · Internet penetration: 67%
Market Overview
Indonesia's 17,000+ islands make satellite internet essential - laying undersea cables to every island is impractical. Starlink received licensing in 2024 and launched service, focusing on remote islands and eastern Indonesia. The government sees satellite as critical for the Palapa Ring connectivity project.
Regulatory Environment
Kominfo regulates telecommunications. Starlink received an ISP license in 2024. Indonesia requires data localization which affects satellite operators. Local partnerships are typically required for foreign providers.
Rural Coverage Gap
Over 12,000 Indonesian villages lack internet access entirely. Eastern Indonesia (Papua, Maluku, Nusa Tenggara) and remote islands have the worst connectivity gaps. Satellite is often the only viable option for archipelago communities.
