Martin and Du chose to research and analyze Indonesia because Indonesia is a huge country with great  potential to become a major player in the telecommunications industry.  In addition, as an Indonesian native, Martin wants to learn more about the information technology infrastructure in Indonesia so that someday he would be able to actively participate in its development.
