As internet use permeates people's daily lives, the demand for better internet signals has increased in the past decade. This is reflected in the increase in the percentage of villages with Base Transceiver Station (BTS) towers; in 2011, there had only been 27% of villages with BTS towers. However, by 2019, this figure had risen substantially to 41%. Provinces with more developed economies tend to have larger BTS penetrations. For example, in 2019, 91% of villages in DKI Jakarta has already possessed at least one BTS tower. This stands in contrast with provinces Papua and Papua Barat, wherein BTS towers were only present in 13% and 8% of all villages (respectively).
