he media center operating cost for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in Nusa Dua, Bali, from Oct.1 to 8 is estimated to run to Rp 19 billion (US$1.65 million).
'To set up a media center, the Communication and Information Ministry proposed the budget,' said APEC Summit media center coordinator Gatot S. Dewobroto in Nusa Dua, Badung regency, Bali, on Sunday, as quoted by Antara news agency.
He said the budget was used to cover the cost of rooms across three floors at the Bali Nusa Dua Convention Center (BNDCC) II and one floor of rooms in BNDCC I, meals for journalists, computers and equipment such as printers.
The media center provided 500 computers and 300 laptops internet connections.
'We rented the media center's computers,' said Gatot on the sidelines of his activities to accompany Communication and Information Technology Minister Tifatul Sembiring who monitored computers and other facilities in the media center at BNDCC II on Sunday.
The APEC Summit organizing committee received internet support from state-owned telecommunication operator PT Telkom.
'Internet usage hit 2 x 10 gigabytes while Telkom provides 4 x 10 gigabytes. It is predicted that the internet usage will peak during Oct. 7 to 8,' said Gatot. (ebf)
