“…Over the years, technology, policy and international development proponents have tried to address the social consciousness gaps missing from the crazed and rushed implementations of technology for poverty alleviation projects in indigenous communities in developing countries. After several millions of dollars and pounds that resulted in little to no reforms, international financial institutions such as the World Bank and the IFC began asking serious but fundamental methodology questions: what went wrong, where, how, and why did these technology projects fail [12]?…”

This goal of this qualitative study was to identify the determinants that assist post-secondary indigenous learners in an isolated fly in-only community to adapt and orient themselves between Eurocentric and Indigenous ways of learning. Digital technology (specifically mobile devices) was used to produce documentation for their adaptation and orientation. The outcomes of the study produced determinants that informed learning with digital technology in the research context. Informants showed a deep understanding of the problem, they were well meaning, eager and responsive to the study. The problem was more complex and participant responses indicated that rethinking and restructuring of the goals and tentative solutions for successful learning were needed. The solutions cannot be simply more technology or more pedagogy. Future research is key, but those research efforts must enter the community with a truly open mind and without any prefixed solutions.

“…In the field of communication, which is considered as an enabling factor of the pace of development acceleration (Laouris & Laouri, 2008), the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology is mandated to narrow the digital divide and create an Indonesian information society. Since the internet is considered as the icon of the ICT, the government attempts to make the whole community familiar with it.…”

“…Unfortunately, programs those have been rolled out for two decades have not shown optimal results (Ginting, 2017) due to the policy makers suspected of being more focused on technological aspects and less considering the socio-cultural one (Wahyono, 2011). Whereas in order for the efforts to be effective, then before determining a policy, one should understand the complex relationship between technology and development (Laouris & Laouri, 2008), including the characteristics of policy recipients (Smith, 1973).…”

A free integrated broadband facility provision by the Indonesian Government in several remote villages seems has not been successfully narrowing down the digital divide. To establish a solution, the gap that caused the problem needs to reveal. Therefore, the current research was conducted with the aim of illustrating the efforts the Indonesian government has made those in term of narrowing down the digital divide, as well as the community feedback in term of how they adopt the internet. Data was obtained from observations and discussions with the government officials and society in several purposive selected rural villages in Eastern Indonesia. It is qualitatively analysed using the diffusion of innovation point of view. The research result gives an overview that the facilities provided by Integrated Broadband Village (IBV) have not been welcomed enthusiasm, whereas the commercial mobile broadband (CMB) network services those are not free was more preferred due to the advantages in all phases of diffusion of innovations. Unfortunately, CMB is not evenly available especially in areas with minimal population. Besides, the efforts of local governments in developing community access are differing in degrees.
