Now let’s bring these numbers closer to home by taking a look at Indonesia’s e-commerce industry. 

Indonesia has been a red hot e-commerce market for its anticipated global explosion. In the last year alone, our internet users have shot 10% to 64,8% out of the total population of 264 million Indonesians. More and more people are getting connected and making transactions online, bringing projected sales of about US$13,16 billion in e-commerce alone. Divide that number by the total hours in a year and you’ll get $1,5 million: the loss the industry will suffer if we lose an hour of internet.
