Indonesia ramps up infrastructure with new fiber optic networks

god, don't i know. my bali branch has to connect to my jakarta intranet everyday, and it's pure pain to use. decent broadband in bali is years overdue. the bureaucrats/govt there truly do not understand the importance of this to investment, esp. in areas outside of the already saturated tourism-related industries. a few years ago i spoke to the head of the Bali BKPM about this very matter. he could not get his head around the concept that "communications" could mean more than telephone lines.
