BMW.id is 

in Dispute, 

Who’s to 

Blame 

Ownership for BMW.id 

domain is in dispute. This 

is due to the fact that the 

ownership is controlled 

by Benny Muliawan who is facing 

a lawsuit filed by Bayerische 

Motoren Werke AG (BMW). Benny 

Muliawan was sent a subpoena 

by BMW legal proxy, Suryo 

Mucito. As the party who is held 

responsible for domain names 

allocation in Indonesia, Indonesia 

Domain Name Manager (Pandi) is 

ready to mediate both parties. 

This was conveyed by Chairman 

of Pandi for Socialization and 

Communication field, Sigit 

Widodo. According to Sigit, the 

dispute is normal. Nevertheless 

Pandi itself has prepared Domain 

Name Dispute Settlement (PPND) 

as the mediator of the disputing 

parties. “For this apapun.id 

domain, this is the first case. For 

settlement, first Pandi is willing to 

assist in mediation. If mediation 

fails, we will offer to use PPND 

procedures,” said Sigit. 

According to Sigit, if PPND 

procedures are followed, the 

concerned parties will appoint 

PPND panel members. Such 

panel members are appointed by 

PPND secretariat based on their 

expertise and professionalism. 

“They determine who are entitled 

to use bmw.id domain,” he said. 

Another settlement mechanism 

is by filing lawsuit to the 

court. However, said Sigit, if 

legal procedures were used, it 

would take a awhile. He gave 

an example in the use of ebay. 

co,id domain in which it required 

2-3 years until finally Ebay 

international won at the court

versus CV Ebay Indonesia. 

Chronology 

Pandi as the authorized party 

in Indonesia domain name 

has opened apapun.id domain 

registration since 20 February 

2014. Such registration is divided 

into several periods. The first 

period (Sunrise) was held from 

20 February to 17 April 2014. In 

such period Pandi provided the 

opportunity for trade mark owners 

to register apapun.id officially. 

Such opportunity was used by 

Benny Muliawan to obtain bmw.id 

domain. 

If using general initial, Benny 

Muliawan supposed to be allowed 

to use BM initial, however 

Benny applied BMW brand in 

2012, despite the rumor that 

such application had not been 

approved by Directorate General 

of Intellectual Property. Here is 

the root of the issue. Despite it 

had not been approved by the 

authorities, Pandi allowed such 

BMW.id domain purchase, since 

there had been a statement letter 

of trade mark application. Such 

statement letter was sufficient to 

complete administration required 

by Pandi. It means that bmw.id 

domain purchase process could be 

conducted. 

Benny was reported to purchase 

bmw.id domain with a total fee of 

IDR20.5 million, in which the IDR15 

million was for BMW.id domain 

including limited domain (2-4 

characters), then Sunrise period 

registration fee in the amount of 

IDR5 million, and administration in 

the amount of IDR500 thousand. 

Then the ‘original’ BMW 

planned to take over the bmw. 

id domain name held by Benny. 

BMW sent a subpoena to Benny 

on 3 December 2014. Benny 

himself already responded to 

BMW law office on 12 January 

2015. According to BMW 

Group Indonesia legal proxy, 

represented by attorney office 

Suryomucito & Co. the BMW.id 

domain takeover was to protect 

BMW global trade mark. Such 

matter was also intended to 

avoid confusion for customers 

of bmw.id and BMW.co.id 

domain have different contents. 

From this case, BMW side also 

hopes that the process can be 

settled amicably.

Ririek would go after his name was 

not listed in Telkom Board of Director 

which was announced in Extraordinary 

General Meeting of Shareholders. The 

name Ririek disappeared together with 

those of Sukardi Silalahi and Priyanto, 

and replaced by the entry of Telkomsel 

team, Herdy Harman and Abdus Somad 

Arief. As it turned out Ririek and friends 

exchanged positions from Telkom Group 

holding to subsidiaries, Telkomsel. 

Hence, Telkom and Telkomsel high 

officers’ position change was only for 

the office swap. 

The interesting part of the Board 

of Directors’s change is the entry of 

the name Diaz Hendroprionom, son of 

former head of BIN Hendropriono. Recompensation 

politic emerged when 

the government announced that Diaz 

entered Telkomsel. That happened 

because Diaz established ‘Kawan Jokowi’ 

to provide support when Jokowi-JK ran 

for the president and vice president in 

the 2014 Presidential Election. 

According to State Minister of State 

Owned Enterprises Rini Soemarno, the 

entry of Diaz in Telkomsel array was 

among others due to the involvement 

of president Joko Widodo. According to 

him, in the government capacity, it is 

normal for the president to participate 

in proposing the name of commissioner 

of State Owned Enterprises, including 

Diaz’s name. Nevertheless Rini denied 

that Diaz’s appointment only considered 

Jokowi’s proposal. 

Rini said that she also considered many 

factors before appointing Diaz. “We 

decided to appoint Diaz due to among 

others his background. There was indeed 

an involvement from the government. It 

involved first echelon and two technical 

ministries. There were several matters 

that we could not take for granted,” she 

assured. 

Not only Telkom and Telkomsel, PT. XL

MAIN REPORT 

XL “Locomotive” will Change in April 

PT XL Axiata Tbk. (XL) held 

Extraordinary General Meeting of 

Shareholders (EGMS) in Jakarta 

early this month. In the change of 

Board of Directors composition Board 

of Directors, EGMS agreed to appoint 

Dian Siswarini to become a member 

of Company Board of Directors. The 

appointment of Dian was reported 

to be not the first step since Dian 

was rumored to be appointed as the 

President Director of XL when EGMS will 

be held this April. 

This was due to the fact that the 

present President Director of XL, Hasnul 

Suhaemi, will enter his retirement period 

this year. Hasnul himself revealed that 

it was Dian who would replace him. 

“Dian has participated in the training 

to prepare to become Chief Executive 

Officer for three years. During such time 

Dian was positioned in Axiata Group, 

then she went to other countries for 

comparative study,” said Hasnul. 

Dian herself is an XL original product, 

she started her career from the bottom, 

dealing with XL network planning and 

design. This ITB graduate resigned 

from XL last year to study and join 

Axiata, the parent company. And now, 

Dian has come back to XL to become 

C 


T 

Hasnul’s representative. And let us just 

wait whether in April Dian will take the 

position of XL-1 or remain as Hasnul’s 

representative. 

Concerning the strategy in the future, 

Dian said that XL would transform into 

digital directed business. Therefore XL 

will actively trigger digital business to 

become company revenue. It is such 

digital service business that XL will 

be engaged in. At the present XL is 

still reviewing business model which is 

suitable with the company. According 

to her, at least there are main business 

models in digital content business, 

namely as content producer, content 

broker or collaborating with global 

content players referred to as over 

the top (OTT) such as Facebook, and 

Google. And XL, said Dian, would choose 

one of the three business models in its 

course of digital content business in the 

future. 

To start this business, such company 

is studying three business models. Each 

to become content broker, content 

producer or PT XL Axiata (XL) will 

transform into digital-oriented business. 

Therefore XL will actively drive digital 

business to become company revenue. 

It is such digital service that will be 

studied by XL as conveyed by Vice 

President Director of XL Axiata, Dian 

Siswarini. 

“We will choose one of them to run 

in digital content business,” said Dian. 

Since it is still on studying stage, Dian 

has not been able to mention how much 

the investment to be spent by XL in 

digital business will be. One thing is for 

sure, gradually XL business service type 

will shift to digital, such as sales service, 

customer or market services. 

Actually, said Dian, XL has been aware

MAIN REPORT 

of digital business since several years 

ago. “Therefore, XL has had three 

digital business such as digital financial 

transaction service named XL Tunai and 

also mobile banking, internet of things 

business such as machine to machine, 

cloud computing and online shopping 

site named Elevenia,” she explained. 

And from such business, Dian opines 

that this business growth exceeds the 

stipulated target. Nevertheless she 

admitted that this digital business 

margin originating from data service is 

still small. “Data margin is indeed still 

small, only half of the conventional 

business,” she said. For such reason 

XL also does not have the courage 

to stipulate digital business revenue 

aggressively in a short period.” This is a 

general matter, [we] experience loss in 

the early year,” she said. 

To cause the margin to increase, XL 

has three methods: expenditure charge 

efficiency, data service sales tariff 

increase and increase of XL customer 

data service traffic volume. 

Its Commissioner Becomes a 

Minister, Indosat Held EGMS 

PT Indosat Tbk plans to hold 

Extraordnary General Meeting of 

Shareholders on 28 January. This 

EGMS is rumored to have the agenda 

of the change of Board of Commissioners 

composition of such Ooredo subsidiary. 

In addition to Commissioner, the latest 

development says there will be change of 

Board of Directors composition. 

From the array of Commissioners, 

with the appointment of Rudiantara to 

become Minister of Communication and 

Informatics, as well as Rachmat Gobel to 

become Minister of Trade, this position is 

vacant and will be filled by new figures. 

In addition to become Ministers, another 

commissioner of Indosat, Rionald Silaban 

will represent Indonesia to sit in the World 

Bank. 

It has not been clarified who will enter, 

however based on what is seen what 

have happened to Telkomsel and Telkom, 

it is possible that these positions will be 

filled by representatives from Jokowi-JK 

supporting parties. It is also possible that 

they will be from Success Team, such 

as Diaz Hendropriyono who established 

Kawan Jokowi who will be positioned as 

Commissioner in Telkomsel. 

In addition to Commissioner position, it is 

also rumored that there will be evaluation 

towards Indosat President and CEO 

Alexander Rusli. Rumor has it that Ooredo 

is still not satisfied with Alex performance 

since Indosat position is not superseded 

by PT XL Axiata and company finance has 

continued to suffer loss for the past two 

years. However, Alex’s closeness with the 

government causes it to look like a rushed 

decision to release this former Special 

Staff of State Minister of State Owned 

enterprises and Minister of Communication 

and Informatics when Sofyan Djalil was the 

Minister. 

In the array of Board of Directors the 

name Indar Atmano will also be released 

and replaced by a new figure. In addition, 

the Republic of Indonesia government 

representation who will hold the position 

of Board of Directors, Director and Chief 

Wholesale & Office of Company Fadzri 

Sentosa is also being evaluated. Moreover, 

Fadzri has held this position for quite a 

while, since June 2007.

SPECIAL REPORT 

Android 

Smartphone Use 

Trend In Indonesia 

MoboMarket released a report 

on Android smartphone use in 

Indonesia. The report entitled 

“Q4/2014 Indonesia Mobile 

Data Report , Based on MoboMarket 

Users Data Research” was composed 

based on the result of MoboMarket 

research on its users habit in Indonesia 

in the fourth quarter (Q4) in 2014. 

MoboMarket is a special Android 

application store developed by Baidu, 

an internet and application development 

company from China. MoboMarket was 

introduced in February 2014 and up to 

December 2014 it has attracted 2.88 

million monthly active users in Indonesia. 

Present as alternative application 

store for Android users in Indonesia, 

MoboMarket has had 517,000 

applications more than 1,000 of which 

are applications from Indonesia. Out of 

all applications MoboMarket recorded 

a total of 265 million application 

distributions which have been used by 

its users during the fourth quarter of 

2014. 

In this research MoboMatket found 

that games are the most downloaded 

application by users, namely in the 

amount of 43%. 

After games, the favorite application 

downloaded is social media (12%) and 

picture application (11%). 

The type of game that is mostly 

downloaded is casual game, namely in 

the amount of 16%. The other types of 

game liked by users are arcade genre 

game (16%), racing (12%), action 

(11%) and sport game (7%). 

Despite being the most downloaded 

game downloaded by users, in terms 

of update, game is the least updated 

application namely only in the amount of 

12%. This shows that games use short 

time span. 

“Meanwhile the number of social 

C 


T


applications such as Facebook, 

BlackBerry Messenger and Line have the 

most portion, namely in the amount of 

39%. This shows that the majority of 

users need social application for long 

period of time. Also from this research 

MoboMarket found that most users 

install 3 to 4 social applications on their 

cellular phones. 

Most Android users who access 

MoboMarket in Indonesia, namely 

in the amount of 31.89% use 

smartphone in the size of 4 

inches with screen resolution 

of 800x480 pixel. 

Such cellular phone’s size 

and screen resolution 

are quite small 

compared to 

the cellular phone’s size and screen 

resolution of cellular phones which are 

used mostly by MoboMarket in China. 

Most cellular phones used in China are 

larger than 4 inches with resolution of 

1280 x 720 pixel. 

Most users start to access their cellular 

phones from 17:00 Western Indonesian 

Time and reach its first access peak at 

20:00 Western Indonesian Time, at that 

time they are resting after work. 

Nevertheless beyond expectation, the 

peak is in the middle of the night from 

23:00 – 24:00 Western Indonesian 

Time. This shows that most users are 

used to playing games on their cellular 

phones before bedtime. This access 

time reaches its lowest point at 03:00 

Western Indonesian Time. 

“Through this report we intend to 

provide knowledge on the trend and 

mobile market situation in Indonesia. 

We expect that this information 

can be useful for internet mobile 

industry industrial actors, particularly 

application developers, in studying 

and understanding mobile users’ 

characteristics in this country. For 

supporters of internet mobile 

ecosystem development in 

Indonesia, we also plan to 

release this report regularly 

each quarter,” said Bao 

Jianlei, Managing 

Director of Baidu

GrabTaxi &

Capital City 

Transportation 

Solution 

C 


T 

Using taxi is one of lifestyles of 

city community. Unfortunately 

when calling a taxi on the side 

of the road not all taxis can be 

trusted in taking us to destinations. 

Sometimes, we do not check whether 

the driver is the same as the ID in the 

taxi. Due to some horrible incidents that 

happened to taxi passengers, GrabTaxi 

had a campaign for save taxi rides. 

At this time GrabTaxi is one of the 

solutions to call taxis without having to 

do so on the side of the road. Kiki Rizki 

as Head of Marketing GrabTaxi Indonesia 

said GrabTaxi could promise the ordered 

taxi through an application, they will 

be far safer than if they pick up taxis 

directly on the side of the road. 

One of the reasons of this is because 

taxi number and driver’s name as well as 

his/her photographs directly appear on 

such application when ordering a taxi. 

Users can also find out where the taxi is


In order to 

” 

be safer, 

GrabTaxi 

conducts 

tight 

screenings for each taxi 

driver who joins (the 

Company). 

when calling from such application. 

Even during the ride users can share 

their journeys by using the “Share Ride” 

feature. By notifying their journeys to 

close friends, at least they understand 

where the taxi is, since each taxi joining 

Grab Taxi has been equipped with GPS. 

To be safer, GrabTaxi conducts tight 

screening to each taxi driver who joins 

(the Company). Therefore each taxi 

driver who is considered as neglecting 

his/her duties will be expelled from 

GrabTaxi. 

In having the safe taxi ride campaign 

GrabTaxi also provides special discount. 

By entering AMAN code on GrabTaxi 

application, users can obtain a price 

cut in the amount of IDR20 thousand. 

This promotion will end on 28 February 

2015 and will be continued by other

be an option. However, sometimes obtaining 

ojeg is not easy. We do not know where the 

ojegs are , or on the contrary we see ojegs 

when we do not need them. To answer this 

challenge Go-Jek application is present. 

This application developed by PT Go_Jek 

Indonesia attempts to make ojeg in Jakarta 

to be more organized. The efforts sought 

are by presenting mobile application which 

can be used by users with Android or iOS 

operating systems device basis. 

At least at this time there are about a 

thousand ojeg riders in Jakarta that have 

been organized, in order to be more trusted 

and easy to access. However according 

to Nadiem Makarim, Chief Executive Ojek 

Go-Jek, this application is made since now 

people are using smartphones. “We want 

people to be able to get ojeg easier, the 

existing ones are market inefficiency. When 

we need ojeg there isn’t any, when we don’t 

need them there are a lot of them on the 

side of the road,” he said 

And this application succeeded in obtaining 

responses. Nadiem claimed that Go-Jek 

application has favorable responses from 

the people, as evidenced by thousands of 

people who have downloaded this application. 

“Now there have been a total of 15 thousand 

download on Apple App Store and Google 

Play,” said Nadiem delightedly. 

He expected that the presence of Go- 

Jek application can assist ojeg riders as its 

partners to be easier in obtaining customers. 

Go-Jek at this time provides three types 

of service in its application, namely inter 

passenger ojek, inter package ojek, and 

shopping order with a maximum order 

amount of IDR1 million. “This application 

will not be effective until 2 weeks later 

however 25% of orders have come from the 

application,” he said.

REGULATION 

Cawidu said that pursuant to provisions 

contained in article 71 paragraph (1) 

of Government Regulation Number 52 

of 2000 regarding Telecommunication 

Organizing, it is mentioned that each 

telecommunication equipment and 

device used, assembled, installed to 

be traded and/or used in the area of 

the Republic of Indonesia must satisfy 

technical requirements. 

“This Minister Regulation Bill is 

the guidance in conducting NFC 

device testing in which NFC device is 

contactless communication technology 

which uses radio wave by ways of 

touching or placing the concerned device 

at close distance,” he said. 

The concerned Minster Regulation Bill 

among others regulates general Terms 

which include Definition, Configuration, 

Initials and Terminology and further on 

NFC Device Technical Requirements, 

completeness of NFC Device Testing and 

NFC Device Testing Implementation NFC. 

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a 

contactless communication technology 

which uses radio wave by ways of 

touching or placing the device at a close 

distance. 

This technology is compatible 

with contactless smart card reader 

infrastructure and has had specification 

stipulated by ISO/IEC, ECMA, ETSI, and/ 

or NFC Forum. NFC device can function 

as contactless smart card emulation, 

peer-to-peer communication and also 

read. 

In the bill, working frequency of NFC is 

13.56 MHz, which is for Operational Field 

Strength in active communication mode, 

initiator and target must alternately 

power RF field at least 1.5 A/m (rms) 

and no higher than 7.5 A/m (rms) 

on a certain position stipulated by 

manufacturer (operational volume). 

Meanwhile for passive communication 

mode, initiator will result in RF field

to provide energy on target. Target 

must operate continuously on RF field 

between 1.5 A/m (rms) and 7.5 A/m 

(rms). 

The bit rate for transmission during 

initialization and SDD must have a 

value in one of the three bit rates 

which is based on the formula fc/128 

(~106 kbps), fc/64 (~212 kbps), or 

fc/32 (~424 kbps). For 106 kbps, 

communication from initiator to target 

and from target to initiator for bit rate 

fc/128 must use ASK 100% modulation 

from operational field to result in a 

phone credit. 

Meanwhile for 212 kbps and 424 kbps, 

initiator must use ASK with modulation 

amounting from 8% to 30% from 

RF operational field. For operational 

distance which is determined by the 

government, the maximum is only 10 

cm.

The government 

plans that migration of 

television from analogue 

to digital be completed 

in 2008. Testing 

and determination of 

multiplexer organizer 

have been conducted by 

Ministry of Communication 

and Informatics for 

all areas of Indonesia. 

Towards the end of 

United Indonesia cabinet 

II Edition, Minister of 

Communication and 

Informatics Tifatul 

Sembiring had issued 

a new policy. This 

time around the policy 

taken was to re-open 

multiplexing organizer 

organizing selection for 

digital broadcasting. 

This was conducted by 

the signing of Minister 


Informatics Decision No. 

729/2014 regarding 

Multiplexing Broadcasting 

Organizing Business 

Opportunity Through 

Terrestrial System in the 

areas of Jakarta, Bogor, 

Depok, Tangerang and 

Bekasi. 

In addition to KM 

No.729/2014, Tifatul also 

issued KM No.730/2014 

regarding Multiplexing 

Broadcasting Organizing 

Business Opportunity 

Through Terrestrial 

System in the provinces 

of West Sumatra, Riau, 

Jambi, South Sumatra, 

Lampung, Bali, East Nusa 

Tenggara, West Nusa 

Tenggara, South Sulawesi, 

South East Sulawesi, West 

Sulawesi, Central Sulawesi, 

North Sulawesi, West 

Kalimantan and Central 

Kalimantan. 

The consideration to 

issue KM No.730/2014 

was digital broadcasting 

organizing implementation 

which required 

multiplexing broadcasting 

organizers. Meanwhile 

for Jabodetabek area 

it is pursuant to KM 

No. 729/2014 in which 

multiplexing organizing 

has existed for the 

need of the additional 

multiplexing organizers in 

these areas. 

“That the 

letter conveyed to DKI 

province region Indonesia 

Broadcasting Commission 

Jakarta, additional 

number of multiplexing 

broadcasting organizers 

through terrestrial system 

in the areas of Jakarta, 

Bogor, Depok, Tangerang 

and Bekasi is needed,” said 

Tifatul in Minister Decision 

signed on 25 July 2014. 

Since it is addition, 

particularly for the areas 

of Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, 

Tangerang and Bekasi, this 

business opportunity is 

only provided to Private 

Broadcasting institutions 

which have not won in 

the previous selection or 

affiliates from the winning 

TV stations. The rumor of 

multiplexing broadcasting 

organizer sharing spread 

along with the auction 

process which previously 

was also favored the TV 

stations owned by tycoons

TELECOMMUNICATION 

Indosat Stumbled Upon 

Bekasi Advertisement 

Indosat advertisement is 

considered as mocking Bekasi 

City. The advertisement that 

says “Holiday to Aussie Is 

Easier than Holiday to Bekasi” is 

considered as degrading Bekasi 

people. No wonder people of Bekasi 

are ready to file a claim against 

Indosat. 

According to Mayor of Bekasi, 

Rahmat Effendi, Indosat 

advertisement is very tendentious 

and merely seeking popularity. 

“Personally I am disappointed. We 

will study the case to take the step 

on behalf of city government of 

Bekasi,” he said. Rahmat regrets 

that Indosat does not consider the 

impact of such advertisement. 

For the people of Bekasi, such 

Indosat advertisement is an insult 

if viewed from the presented 

advertisement. “For me that is 

harassment from an advertisement 

product which does not have any 

measurement base. What does it 

mean by Bekasi being like that,” he 

regretted. 

Meanwhile Chairperson of Regional 

House of Representative (DPRD) 

Commission of Bekasi City Nuryadi 

Darmawan said that Indosat 

advertisement highly stained and 

harassed Bekasi people by using 

the inappropriate sentence. Bekasi 

is part of Indonesia, this is our

is harassed. The government and 

legal apparatus must take hard 

measures [for advertisements] with 

this kind of regional topic,” he said. 

For this, DPRD invites the Mayor 

and Regent of Bekasi as well as the 

people of Bekasi to jointly conduct 

a class action. “Bekasi must 

conduct a class action,” he invited. 

Indosat itself has officially 

apologized and withdrawn the 

airing of advertisement which is 

considered as offending the people 

of Bekasi in social media. The 

advertisement which is considered 

as hurting Bekasi people was then 

reported by Student Study Forum 

for Humanity and Democracy 

(FSMKD), Indonesia Youngster 

National Committee (KNPI) of 

Bekasi City, Student Presidium 

Council (DPM) Indonesia Institution, 

and Bekasi Sovereign Forum (FDB) 

to the Headquarter of regional 

police of Bekasi City. 

Legal proxy of the reporting 

party Naupal Al Rasyid, said that 

the social media advertisement 

uploaded by Indosat Mania falls 

under the category of insult. 

According to him Indosat Mania 

service advertisement violates 

ITE Law Article 27 paragraph 

(3) in conjunction to Article 

310 of Criminal Code regarding 

defamation, with legal threat of 

six-year imprisonment. “People of 

Bekasi are disappointed by such 

advertisement therefore they 

agree to bring this matter to legal 

procedure,” said Naupal. 

Head of Community Relation of PT 

Indosat Adrian Prasanto admitted 

that he met community figures and 

community related organizations 

of Bekasi. And Indosat, he said,

has apologized and clarified 

such inconvenience towards the 

advertisement. 

“Since it has created an issue, 

we immediately withdrew and 

apologized. Honestly we do not have 

any intention to hurt Bekasi people. 

This is a form of our oversight in 

creating an advertisement on social 

media,” he regretted. In addition, 

he added, Indosat has met several 

Bekasi community figures to clarify 

such advertisement. 

Meanwhile, Marketing 

Communication of PT Indosat 

Bekasi branch, Ainum said that the 

advertisement that says “Holiday 

to Aussie is easier than holiday to 

Bekasi” only appeared on Twitter 

social media on Thursday (8/1) and 

has been revoked. “Advertisement 

only appeared on social media. It 

did not appear to public at large. 

Now we have withdrawn [such 

advertisement],” he said. 

Ainum also did not understand how 

such advertisement could appear, 

while the relationship with the local 

government had been remarkable 

and there was never any issue. 

“Our relation with the regional 

government or community in Bekasi 

is fine. There is no issue,” he said.


The Government will Open 

1.800 MHz and 2.1 GHz for LTE 

Minister of 

Communication 

and Informatics 

Rudiantara will 

soon issue a new policy 

on 4G LTE technology 

adoption. The policy to 

be issued in February 

concerns neutral 

technology opening for 

1.800 MHz frequency 

opening. 

4G policy will soon be 

implemented. We will issue 

in February the application 

of 4G LTE on band 1,800 

MHz this year,” said 

Rudiantara. According to 

him this is the second 

stage of LTE adoption 

after previously 4G LTE on 

900 MHz frequency was 

opened. 

Rudiantara explained that 

the policy to be issued 

will be followed by 1.800 

MHz frequency structuring 

itself. 

“Essentially this month 

I will invite all President 

Directors of all operators. 

After such policy is issued, 

structuring will continue,” 

he said. 

The 1.800 MHz opening 

policy taken for LTE, is 

said by Rudiantara to 

be the most supportive 

ecosystem on 1.800 MHz. 

“The most supportive 

ecosystem is on 1.800 

MHz,” he explained. 

Due to such readiness, 

it is predicted that 


utilization for LTE will 

be faster, including 

support from cellular 

phone manufacturers who 

promised to be ready to 

launch their products in 

the second quarter of this 

year. 

After the opening of 


range for LTE, Ministry 


Informatics also plans to 

open 2.1 GHz frequency 

for 4G. At this time, 2.1 

GHz can only be used 

for 3G technology IMT- 

2000. “2.1 GHz policy 

will be announced in mid 

year after 1.800 MHz is 

commercialized,” said 

Rudiantara. 

Nevertheless, since at 

this time 3G frequency 

allocation on 2.1 GHz 

leaves 2 blocks on blocks 

11 and 12, Ministry 


Informatics is said 

to firstly open the 

opportunity of allocation 

for telecommunication 

operators to add their 

frequency. 

2.1 GHz policy is planned 

to be announced around 

June 2015 after 1.800 

MHz frequency allocation 

process is completed. 

Rudiantara himself 

admitted that he will first 

discuss with operators 

before announcing his 

policy. According to 

him Communication and 

Informatics will first 

open the opportunity to 

four operators on such 

spectrum to compete in 

obtaining the remaining 

two channels. 

As to the allocation 

mechanism, the frequency 

taken by the government 

partially from this XL- 

AXIS merger process will 

depend on the needs of 

the operators. “If the 

demand is higher than 

supply, then selection 

[will be conducted]. 

It can be by ways of 

beauty contest, tender or 

anything,” he said. 

As to which have been 

requested, Rudiantara 

revealed that operator 

bosses particularly 

offshore parent companies 

such as Singtel, Axiata or 

Ooredo have contacted 

him. From the discussion, 

such operator bosses 

stated that they needed to 

add frequency on 2.1 GHz.

Akamai Report: 

Internet Speed 

Increases, Hacking 

Decreases 

Despite Indonesia 

internet speed 

improves, it is still 

slumped and on the 

77th position in the world. 

This can be seen from the 

newest Akmai report which 

has released its newest data 

on the world “State of the 

Internet” for Q3-2014. 

Based on Akmai report, 

now Indonesia is on 77th 

place in the world. In 

average Indonesia internet 

speed is still on the figure 

3.7 Mbps. Nevertheless, this 

speed figure increased from 

the previous quarter which 

was 49% and year-on-year 

(YoY) increased to become 

149%. 

Indonesia’s position is 

under other Asean countries 

such as Singepore with 

12.2 Mbps (10), Thailand 

with 6.6 Mbps (48) as well 

as Malaysia with 4.1 Mbps 

(71). 

In terms of the highest 

(peak) internet speed, 

Indonesia is on the 64th 

position with a speed of 

25.8 Mbps. Indonesia’s 

position is far below Asean 

countries such as Singapore 

(2) with internet speed 

in average of 83 Mbps, 

then Thailand on the 28th

position with average 

of 41.9 Mbps as well as 

Malaysia (56) with 29.8 

Mbps. 

Based on its report, 

Akamai stipulates that the 

fastest average of internet 

connection speed during 

the third quarter of 2014 

was South Korea with 2.3 

Mbps then Hong Kong has 

the speed of 84.6 Mbps and 

Japan on the third place 

with 15.0 Mbps. 

Meanwhile the government 

seems to continue to need 

to work hard in terms 

of providing broadband 

connection. This is caused 

by the fact that until 

today Indonesia broadband 

connectivity for more than 

4 Mbps is in the amount of 

35%. This speed increased 

by 250% compared to 

the previous quarter and 

increased by 1884% 

compared to the previous 

year. This sharp increase 

must be understood since 

previously Indonesia was 

not included in Akmai radar 

in terms of broadband 

development. 

Meanwhile, for connectivity 

above 10 Mbps, Indonesia is 

on the 56th position with 

connection of 3.3%. This 

speed increased by 534% 

QoQ (quarter on quarter) 

and 2403 year-on year. 

Despite of such increase, 

Indonesia’s position for 

broadband above 4 Mbps is 

still below ASEAN countries 

such as Thailand (15), 

Singapore (20) and Malaysia 

(67). 

Meanwhile for that which is 

above 10 Mbps Indonesia is 

still below Singapore (11). 

Thailand (43) and Malaysia

is held by South Korea 

leading the broadband

Hacking Decreased 

The interesting part 

from the newest Akmai 

report is that Indonesia 

is no longer the king and 

central of Internet hacking 

traffic in Indonesia. 

Indonesia’s position which 

had always been in the 

top three, is now thrown 

to the 6th position. 

On the second quarter 

Indonesia was on the 

second position below 

China with 15% meanwhile 

China controlled the world 

hacking with 43% hacking. 

The third position is The 

United States with the 

figure 13%. 

On the third quarter 

of 2014, the position 

changed. The central 

of hacking is still led by 

China with the figure of 

49% followed by the 

United States with 17%. 

Indonesia itself is on the 

6th position with only 

1.9%.
