Internet cafes are out, and wireless is in, as Wi-Fi hotspots are dotting more of Indonesia and leading wireless to double in the past year, The Jakarta Post reported Thursday.
"Since we lowered our prices a year ago, customers using the Speedy dedicated line have risen from 5,000 in 2007 to 14,000 in 2008," said I Ketut Purwa, public relations secretary of the Bali branch of Telkom Indonesia.

Wireless has been added mostly in public places in the country, such as universities, cafes and hotels, The Jakarta Post reported in an article posted by Asia Media.
Global Xtreme, another Internet service provider, is also seeing a surge in usage.
"Most of our customers are villa owners. But currently more and more providers are appearing on the market which makes it hard to expand," Dia Ayu Widiastuti, head of Global Xtreme's customer service, told The Jakarta Post.
