Public cloud is the cloud sold on the internet by a company and private cloud is the one that work on LAN network. Indonesian users who use public cloud will face the problem with internet network. We know that almost all area in Indonesia has bad internet access except some big cities that their internet infrastructure works well. If the users has bad internet network, it will be hard to access the cloud.
