Abstract

The human development was represented with the human development index and the availability of telecommunication service extracted from spectrum frequency monitoring all around Indonesia. In this paper, we find out the correlation between the availability of radio spectrum-related ICTs telecommunication service in the form of mobile cellular, TV broadcast, and radio broadcast with human development by using city-regency level data. We knew that telecommunication service is statistically significant and positively correlated to human development. In particular, mobile cellular service has a higher positive correlation with human development comparing to TV broadcast service, while radio broadcast service does not correlate with human development. We also suggest that policies should give more priorities to the mobile cellular technology for using spectrum frequency as this technology has the highest correlation with human development in Indonesia.
