Abstract :
A Delay Tolerant Network (DTN) technique is used in this research for approaching the digital divide problem in Indonesia. In this research, a train system was chosen as infrastructures as DTN routers using Wi-Fi. Tens/hundreds/thousands of remote areas are passed through by a train, this makes Internet services proposed having low costs and appropriate for remote areas. The complete Internet services system was successfully designed and implemented.
