Poster - The Low Impact of COVID-19 on Rural Community Network Traffic.

With this poster we present an initial analysis of the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic and regional lockdowns on Internet traffic and credit transfers within a rural community network in Bokondini, Indonesia. We find initial evidence that phenomena observed in other large-scale datasets around lockdowns did not occur in this context, with little change observed in network utilization. We do find a marginal increase in the frequency and size of transfers in the network and observe some users accessing health information and using health-related applications.
