Abstract

The fast evolution of telecommunication technology from 5G to telegraph has brought about massive changes in communication and societal interactions, presenting new challenges and opportunities. In his research, the writer examines these developments as far as the Indonesian telecommunication regulations are concerned by referring to Steven Vago’s theory of legal change so as to explain how technology and law are inseparable. Major issues addressed by this research encompass fair access, data privacy as well as need for a responsive legal system. This study uses normative legal research methodology with statutes approach in analyzing the development of telecom laws including Law No.36/1999 as amended by Law No.11/2020. The findings establish that technological advancement require adaptive regulatory frameworks that would ensure equitable access and safeguard societal interests. The study highlights the role played by legal systems in ensuring social order, justice and inclusion while supporting innovation in society. This paper emphasizes the significance of moral attitudes and psychological determinants on changing law. Therefore, according to this research, flexible and responsive legislation is necessary to effectively deal with increasing speed through which telecommunication is evolving. Therefore, it follows from these findings that Indonesian telecommunications regulation must evolve with technological progress to achieve universal accessibility and respond to emerging challenges confronting it today. Future policies should focus on infrastructure development in remote locations accompanied by enhancement of data security measures which strike a balance between individual rights while fostering innovation.
