摘要:As one of the developing countries, the Government of Indonesia (GoI) realizes that in order to improve its national competitiveness, the main assignment is to improve the educational system through the utilization of information and Communication Technology (ICT). To achieve this goal efficiently is to involve all state universities in Indonesia that already have the basic resources for ICT implementation. Through Indonesian Higher Education Directorate (DIKTI) - Indonesian Higher Education Network (INHERENT) project called Institutional Capacity Development in Information and Communication Technology, The Government of Indonesia not only can reduce the overall cost but also can share and deliver the responsibility to every state university in Indonesia for maintaining the project sustainability. To maintain the sustainability of the project at State University of Medan (UNIMED) made two decisions: (1) to maximize the use of cyber cafe that could generate revenue up to 261 million Rupiah (US$ 27,473.68) per year; (2) to implement the e-mail services that could generate revenue up to 815,1 million Rupiah (US$ 85,800) per year. The utilization of ICT at UNIMED not only can improve its academia abilities, but also can deliver service towards the community or other institution within their area by sharing its bandwidth capacities
