Information Technology and Convergence n n Information Technology (IT) is rapidly converging with Communications and Computing Technologies such that a new agglomerated industry has emerged. It is interchangably called just “IT”, IT & Communications (ITC in the European Union) or Information Communications Technology (ICT in the United States), “Telematika” or “Infokom” in the Indonesian language. ITs are now essential tools for competitiveness in the business world and commerce (e-commerce), for improving a better delivery of government services and for achieving good governance for private and government agencies (e-government).

Information Society is both a description and an aspiration n “For we live today in an era in which information is omnipresent, through newspapers, radio, television and the Internet; in which information is n n transforming the ways we live, learn, work and relate Indispensable–for health, agriculture, education and trade, and for cultivating the engaged and learned citizenry that is essential for democracy to work. ” “Description turns to aspiration when we consider what to do with the masses of information and knowledge increasingly at our disposal–how to make it serve some greater purpose, be it peace, development, human rights, global harmony or all these together. ” “What is new today are the technologies are dramatically accelerating its global dissemination. These technologies are a tremendous force for creating opportunities, and for integrating people and nations into the global economy. ”

Information Society and the Digital Divide n n “But too many of the world’s people remain untouched by the information revolution. ” “A <> threatens to exacerbate already wide gaps between rich and poor, within and among countries. ” “The technologies are also raising important social and other concerns from privacy rights and freedom of expression to the ability of local and indigenous voices to be heard in an era of media concentration and mass culture. ” Mr. Kofi A. Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations at the World Summit on Information Society, Geneva, 2003. FTII aims to encourage all Indonesians to develop a shared vision of an information society that empowers and benefits all people, to forge partnerships and to make specific connections between information technologies and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) which can bridge the digital divide in Indonesia (for MDG see www. itu. int/wsis).

Indonesia shows potential in realizing the Information Society n n “The growing gap between the information-rich and the information-poor can only be bridged by concrete interventions. Pure declarations of goodwill not be enough. The World Summit Award (WSA) is the first attempt within the global information society to evaluate and honour the best multimedia realisations from all over the world. ” Prof. Peter A. Bruck, a distinguished researcher and the catalyst for WSA at the ICT for Development (ICT 4 D) event at the first WSIS. Among 40 Best Products in 8 Catagories from 136 Countries and 803 Entries, the Indonesian product “ORISINAL: Morning Sunshine” was chosen in the e. Entertainment category which was showcased at the gala event in the WSIS, Geneva, December 2003 (see www. wsis-award. org)

Indonesia can seize the opportunities of Information Society n n n Opportunity created by foreign direct investment (FDI) to (a) build infrastructure (b) launch ICT projects, (c) partner with donor organizations, and (d) tap undevelop markets. Privatizing and liberalizing monopoly providers to introduce competition, lower prices, and advance the deployment and utilization of ICTs. Attracting data processing applications such as data entry, customer service and telemarketing operations, records processing (accounts receivable, accounts payable, general ledger, etc. ), order entry, investory control, databank development, data storage operations, remote systems administration, etc. Attracting Internet FDI start-up companies, e-commerce operations, software development and outsourcing centers Developing telemedicine and health care centers.

Indonesia can seize the opportunities of Information Society Using ICTs for distance learning, education, unemployment n n n n database and workforce skills. Using ICTs for agri-business and agriculture information and industry sector support. Attracting light manufacturing operations. Modernizing the financial sector. Fostering the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to spur job creation, innovation, flexibility and competitiveness. Reforming and automating court administration and case management and availability of judicial information. Developing effective networks in Indonesia with security and affordability free from virus, spam and post 9/11 concerns. Each of these opportunities is dependent upon the development of the public policy, legal and regulatory framework to support the above activities. They form the underlying foundation of government support for ICTs and a favorable business environment.

Comm. & Information) Working with industry and government counterparts to rally their support for the annual ICT Month of Promotion (usually for the month of August when the Independence was declared). Advocacy work for a favorable IT business environment in various IT and IT-users’ industry and government forums.
