Abstract
The accelerating progress of ICT that has changed the education demands of individuals and nations needs a good understanding of the nature, role and implications of ICT in education, how to design specific measures of its supply, the constraints and conditions to be faced and structural changes implied by the use of technology at micro and macro level.
While the use of technology in education is apparently promising in boosting the quality of education, its financing will probably require a deeper consideration since for a country such as Indonesia with its only $ 2000 GDP/Capita, competing demands in providing education infrastructure such as building, books, teaching aids, training as well as personnel wage and salaries etc are still not yet completely answered.
In this context, it is interesting to assess the likely financial impact of the accelerating progress and the use of ICT in higher education on the development opportunity of the majority of private Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Indonesia.
