History[edit]
PT Dutakom Wibawa Putra (D~NET) was founded in 1997 by Caroline Gondokusumo. In the beginning, Caroline Gondokusumo worked for PT Core Mediatech, which has very similar brand name (D-NET, not D~Net), was led by Evy Sumarlin and based in Jakarta, not yet having another branch office. In hopes of providing a better internet connection in Surabaya, Caroline Gondokusumo, with permission from Evy sumarlin, then created a new company with a very similar name, D~NET to Surabaya. But despite carrying the same brand, the two companies, PT Core Mediatech and PT Dutakom Wibawa Putra, are different companies and not related to each other.
D~NET opened its first branch office in Malang, East Java in 2004 and was then followed by the opening of a branch office in Denpasar, Bali in 2008 and Mataram, Lombok in 2017.

Partnership with Facebook[edit]
In 2017, D~Net offered a partnership by Facebook to establish Express Wi-Fi, a service provide internet access via public Wi-Fi hotspots that are "fast, affordable, and reliable" (as per Facebook). Facebook assists partners by providing a comprehensive Wi-Fi platform that partners can leverage to better manage and grow their Wi-Fi offerings. Express WiFi was first present in Indonesia in several places in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park.[2][3]
After the success of the pilot project in Mount Bromo, the development of Express Wi-Fi then continued to Surabaya in 2017. The location of this location was originally motivated by D~NET headquarters in Surabaya to facilitate implementation, monitoring and development of the WiFi Express network, but in the future, Express WiFi will be available in various regions in Indonesia.
