The area is so remote that we had to take small CESSNA plane operated by Missionary Aviation Foundation (MAF) to get there after a long journey to Tarakan from Jakarta. The area is very remote, there is no road or river or boat access except by small airplane. Electricity is still scarce and the Power generation is used in turn to power several villages. There is still no Internet there, except if you carry your smartphone with GPRS features then you can send email. Students there has no Internet access and their library is very limited. We are doing a study to install a rural cybercafe or telecenter in the village. Our visit is to complete a feasibility study for installing a rural cybercafe in Long Bawan funded by WWF (WorldWildlife Foundation).Sometimes there are some tourist follow the tracking path thru the wilderness untouch forest of Kalimantan. There are still many area of blankspot to Internet in this world. Rudi Rusdiah@APWKomitel (Association of Internet Center - Jakarta, Indonesia).
