Slated for launch on Dec. 29, the Wi-Fi connectivity program is said to include Wi-Fi corners and Wi-Fi stations, which serve as the rebranding of Telkom's broadband access network wifi.id, and was tested in 2016. The Wi-Fi corners reportedly would be placed in popular tourist destinations.
Last year, several tourist destinations offered Wi-Fi connectivity from Telkom, including Borobudur Temple, Ratu Boko Temple and Prambanan Temple in Yogyakarta, as well as Jatim Park in East Java.
“For now [the upcoming program] will focus on destinations with high tourist density,” said Dicke. (wir/kes)
