Key Summary:

  • Entrance in Indonesia
  • What is Starlink? Business brief
  • Competition landscape

As Indonesia grapples with uneven internet access, particularly in rural and remote areas, the entrance of Starlink (by SpaceX) could mark a pivotal shift in the telecommunication industry as Starlink promises to deliver high-speed connectivity in regions where traditional telco players have failed to penetrate effectively. 


According to APJII (Asosiasi Penyelenggara Jasa Internet Indonesia), despite Indonesia’s high internet penetration of 79.5%, where 95% use mobile data to access the internet, speed and coverage are often issues. Based on Ookla's Speedtest, Indonesia ranks 126th with an average speed of 30 Mbps for broadband services per April 2024.
