Telkom On-Track to Launch WiMAX in Q1 2010

PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (otherwise known as ‘Telkom’) is on track to launch their WiMAX network in Indonesia during the first quarter of 2010… That is, providing the company acquires the necessary licenses. Ermady Dahlan, Consumer Director for Telkom noted that the company was working hard on ‘administrative requirements’ in order to obtain said licenses. I fully expect the licenses to be granted.

All told thus far, Indonesia has awarded 8 WiMAX licenses. Included in the WiMAX frey are Telkom, PT Indosat Mega Media, PT First Media, PT Jasnita Telekomindo, PT Internux, PT Berca Hardayaperkasa, PT Rahajasa Media Internet, and a partnership between PT Comtronics Systems and PT Adiwarta Perdania. These 8 were taking from a total of 73 companies that expressed interest in the WiMAX expansion.

I sincerely hope my spelling is correct on the names above…
