Dear Pak Md Santo,
I do agree that there is a difference between the Digital Divide which is a gap between availability/non-availability of a Broadband Infrastructure, and the E-L Divide which ia a gap in the Learning Process. I consider that both kind of Gaps should be narrowed as soon as possible in order to speed up the development of Indonesia, and these prosesses would take time and money. As for whic one of them is more important, I consider that both ar similarly important.

I hope that more people will be participating in this discussion to create awareness of the problem in Indonesia.
Best regards,
