I'm interested in finding out the number of internet users in Indonesia as of
2001. Any further information related to the topic of internet use in
Indonesia would be appreciated.According to the Indonesian Association of Internet Service Providers, it is
estimated that there are approximately 4 million Internet users in Indonesia
for 2001 as compared to 1.2 million for 2000. However, according to the CIA
World Factbook there was only 400,000 Internet users in Indonesia for 2000
(http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/id.html).
The American Embassy in Indonesia provides the following information:
"The tiny number of internet users in Indonesia grew by 180 percent in 2000 and
is predicted to triple in 2001...Currently only .6 percent of all Indonesians
are logged-on...The number of internet users in Indonesia is expected to more
than triple in 2001 from approximately 1.2 million users to 4 million."

From Indonesia Internet Business Community:
"But, compared to any other countries in the Asia Pacific region, Indonesia has
the lowest growth rate of Internet users with only 0.7 to 0.9 percent
penetration. Mostly blamed for the low penetration percentage is the lack of
infrastructure facilities."
