Abstract

Ensuring equal access to telecommunications is crucial for guaranteeing internet access rights and reducing the digital divide. The mandates of the Job Creation Law of telecommunications access infrastructure are designed to guarantee equitable distribution. This article examines the philosophical, legal, and economic dimensions of fair telecommunications access, explicitly focusing on the role of government intervention. The study used a descriptive-analytical research method to focus on understanding legal documents. The conversation highlights the profound philosophical importance of telecommunications in Indonesia, presenting it as essential for advancing human society. The telecommunications law, established by the state, should primarily be utilized to facilitate governmental efforts in promoting justice and maintaining public order rather than being exploited as a means of exerting authority. The article promotes a judicious approach to government intervention, highlighting the need for earlier deregulation. Given its crucial role as Indonesia’s primary driver of Internet access, the telecommunications sector requires intense government supervision and regulation.
