Indonesian President Joko Widodo called it the country's"first government-owned multi-function satellite with the biggest capacity in Asia" in an Instagram post on Monday.It will"distribute internet access, especially for education, health, and public service in the remote, isolated, and outermost areas", acting communication and informatics minister Mahfud MD said.
