Abstract
This paper investigates the deepening digital divide and widening spatial gaps in Indonesia over half a decade. Data come from the Indonesian national socio-economic survey (Susenas) 2005-2009, and comprise 1.4 million households living in 292 districts. Multilevel analysis is used to account for the effects of district conditions, household socio-economic status, and human capital on digital access. Far from finding a convergence, we can report that the digital divide expanded during this period; the inequality of access by age, income, and education deepens across socio-economic groups and widens across regions. Rather than reducing inequalities, the Internet exacerbates existing social and spatial inequalities.
