The process of establishing Akatel Jakarta at that time was not easy, many personnel were involved in the preparation of files both from internal and external campuses. The contribution of lecturers from the Purwokerto Telkom Academy and teachers from SMK Telkom Jakarta also played a role in the establishment of Akatel Jakarta.
