In this chapter, I will talk about infrastructures in Indonesia which have drastically improved in the recent 2-3 years.
In terms of payment methods, since 2015, GooglePlay payment can be made through major mobile carriers of Indonesia and in this year, Indomart, the Indonesian convenience store giant, supports GooglePlay payments at its stores.
Internet infrastructure had a great improvement as well. Until very recently, 4G network was limited only in Jakarta area, but now the biggest mobile carrier, Telkomsel, has announced the expansion of the service to 100 cities in the country and other mobile carriers are estimated to follow the lead.
In the next and the last chapter on Indonesia, I would be talking about tips for new global developers eager to advance into Indonesian market, providing some local precedents.
