According to a research from an Internet content delivery companies, Akamai in 2012, Indonesia is one of the
lowest broadband provider in Asia Pacific (KOMPAS, [37]). The report also identified that only 0.82% of
Indonesian Internet users that can access Internet speed above 4Mpb. Furthermore, the Association of Indonesian
Internet Service Provider (APJII) also stated that the high cost of bandwidth, poor fibre-optic infrastructure and
limited PC penetration have attributes to low Internet diffusion in Indonesia (Economist Intelligence Unit, [32]).
However, in recent years, there is a significant growth of Internet users in Indonesia, which constitute 20% growt h
and therefore placed Indonesia in the fifth position as the fastest growing number of Internet users after China,
Australia, Japan and Hong Kong (KOMPAS, [37]). APJII also identifies that the price of bandwidth in Indonesia
will decrease around 50% in the next few years due to more ISP providers serving Indonesian market (Economist
Intelligence Unit, [32]). This would be an advantage for Indonesian SMEs in adopting B2B e-Business, as many
experts believed that consistent broadband connectivity and availability in a country is fundamental to support B2B
e-Business adoption (Zakaria and Janom, [38]).
