One of populous country, Indonesia, plan to cut mobile interconnection tariff 20-40% by 1 April. Indonesia’s communication minister, Mohammad Nuh, told reporters that the government expected the number of mobile phone users in Indonesia to rise by 30-40 percent this year from around 80 million at the end of 2007. “We still see a trend of declining tariffs from this year lasting until 2009. The trend needs to be maintained,” Nuh said.

PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel), 65 percent owned by PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia, is the largest cellular operator with more than half market share, followed by PT Indosat and PT Excelcomindo Pratama.
