‘Fallen Durian’
For Smart Telecom
M
inister of
Communication
and Informatics
intends to migrate
Smart Telecom, a cellular
operator which obtained
6.25 MHz on the range of
1900 MHz frequency, to
2.3 GHz frequency range
occupied by Broadband
Wireless Access (BWA)
operators. And like
obtaining ‘fallen durian’
Smart Telecom frequency
allocation soared to
become 30 MHz.
The effort of Ministry
of Communication and
Informatics in providing
special treatment for
Smart Telecom invited
lawsuit. The new chapter
is this telecommunication
operator which has found
it difficult to obtain
frequency reported
this matter to Business
Competition Supervisor
Commission (KPPU). KPPU
itself has not officially
conveyed which parties
filed lawsuit against such
Smart Telecom migration
to 2.3 GHz.
However, prior
to entering KPPU,
the existing
telecommunication
organizers on 2.3 GHz
stated their protests on
Smart Telecom migration
from 1.9 GHz to 2.3 GHz.
Such operators admitted
that the government had
not invited them to have
discussions on this matter
until this time.
As conveyed by
Indonesia Wireless
Broadband Organizer
association (APPLNI)
General Chairman Duta

Sarosa.
According to him,
his side expected that
the government reevaluate the plan of
such Smart Telecom
migration, because since
the beginning 2.3 GHz
frequency has been
intended for data service
with distribution system
per area.
“The entrance of
Smartfren which has
cellular license with
national coverage is
considered as changing
business model on this
frequency. We don’t
blame operators who are
relocated since they also
comply with regulator’s order,”
said Duta who is also the President
Director of PT Berca Hardaya
Perkasa.
At such opportunity Duta agreed
if there was a government plan to
issue a number of regulations for
BWA operators, such as regarding
joint infrastructure use. However,
he affirmed, legal certainty had to
obtain the main attention in the
future.
Objection also came from the
second largest operator, XL Axiata.
XL which has to loose 10 MHz
caused by the merger process with
AXIS Telekom Indonesia opined that
the granting of 30 MHz to Smart
Telecom was unfair.
“Frankly speaking we feel
quite disappointed with the new
13
Majalah IC T
No. 27• September 2014
HOT NEWS
frequency size obtained
by Smartfren.
Such 30 MHz allocation
is too large and causes
other operators to feel
disadvantages,” said
Ongki Kurniawan, Services
Management Director.
Ongki affirmed that
with frequency in the
size of 30 MHz, Smart
Telecom would be able to
immediately implement
4G with quite high speed.
Such privilege was
not obtained by other
operators.
“No other operators
have frequency in the size
of 30 MHz. We on 1,800
MHz only have 22.5 MHz
in which it is separated
between 15 MHz, and
7.5 MHz,” he said. “It is
quite disappointing since
from the initial frequency
before the migration,
Smart Telecom only had
below 15 MHz,” said
disappointed Ongki.
From obtained
information, the report
to KPPU is concerning
the main two core issues
related to unhealthy
business competition.
First, it is concerning
30 MHz allocation to
Smart Telecom which at
this time the frequency
allocation is not so large.
Second is concerning the
equality between players
on 2.3 GHz frequency.
At this time, operators
on 2.3 GHz are majority
BWA players with an
average frequency
allocation of 15 MHz and
obtains local fixed network
license with switch
package basis.
The government itself
has officially stipulated
the telecommunication
allocation migration of PT
Smartfren Telecom Tbk
on 1,900 MHz spectrum
to 2,300 MHz. In the
Regulation of Minister
of Communication and
Informatics (Menkoinfo),
Tifatul Sembiring provides
frequency band allocation
at the width of 30 MHz for
operators who will adopt
such LTE technology.

T
he Second
Edition of United

will immediately
terminate its period of
employment. Even for
Ministry of Communication
and Informatics, such
termination can be
sooner, since Minister
of Communication
and Informatics
Tifatul Sembiring will
be inaugurated as
member of the House
of Representative from
election area of North
Sumatera I, on October
1. In welcoming the
termination of his period
of duties, Tifatul inherits
regulation regarding
internet blocking.
15
Majalah IC T
No. 27• September 2014
Such regulation is
indicated in Regulation
of Minister (Permen)
of Communication and
Informatics Number
19/2014 regarding
Handling of Internet Sites
with Negative Contents.
This Permen was signed
by Tifatul on July 7,
2014. the scope of this
regulation includes the
determination of internet
sites with negative
contents which need to
be handled, the role of
the Government and the
public in handling internet
sites with negative
contents, the role of
Internet Access Service
Organizer in handling sites
with negative contents
and procedures in blocking
and normalizing of such
blocking in handling
internet sites with
negative contents.
Concerning the limitation
of sites with negative
sites, “The types of
internet site with negative
contents handled are
pornography and other
illegal activities based
on the provisions of the
laws and regulations.
Other illegal activities
are illegal activities
which reports are derived
from the Ministry or the
authorized Government
Institution pursuant to the
provisions of the laws and
regulations,” says such
regulation.
SPECIAL REPORT
The mechanism of
blocking is by providing
a list of site addresses
which have negative
contents which is referred
to as TRUST + Positive.
“The public may
participate in providing
blocking service by loading
at least sites in TRUST
+ Positive. The blocking
service is conducted by
Blocking Service provider,”
says this regulation.
The providing of
negative site addresses
or Trust + Positive is the
duty of Director General.
“Director General shall be
Director General which
engages in Informatics
application.”
The absolute power of
Ministry of Communication
and Informatics in
determining internet
blocking obtained
strong
disapproval
from
internet exciters and
ICT Watch activist,
Donny BU opined that
regulation regarding
content blocking issued by
Ministry of Communication
and Informatics was
considered as without
legitimacy and procedures.
According to Donny,
actually ICT Watch had
sent official letter on
information request to
Ministry of Communication
and Informatics.
Despite such letter was
responded by Kominfo
through an email on June
9, 2014, Donny thought
that the content did not
answer or explain the
essence of the
question
asked
by
ICT Watch, namely on the
legitimacy of the presence
of Trust + Positive and
Standard Operational
Procedure (SOP) used. For
such reason ICT Watch
sent a caveat to PPID
through an email and also
hand delivered on June 22
and 23, 2014. Such caveat
was responded by Kominfo
on July 14, 2014 through
a one page document sent
through post. “Referring to
the last Kominfo response
(July 14, 2014) it has
become even
clearer
that
Majalah IC T
No. 27• September 2014
3
16
SPECIAL REPORT
the presence of Trust +
Positive does not have
clear legitimacy.
Trust + Positive practice
does not even have the
basic and official SOP,”
said Donny.
Donny revealed that
when his side asked
for official document
which could show record
on establishment and
legitimacy of Trust +
certainly remains inviting
basic questions on the
origin of the presence of
Trust + Positive in the
arrays of Kominfo,” he
said.
Further, Donny added,
when ICT Watch asked
for official document
on Standard operational
Procedures (SOP) which
had been used by Trust
+ Positive since 2011,
Positive authority, Kominfo
side only provided Circular
Letter of Directorate
General of Post and
Telecommunication
Number 1598/SE/
DJPT.1/KOMINFO/7/2010
regarding Compliance with
Laws and Regulations
related to Pornography.
“Such letter was addressed
to ISPs. The presence of
Trust + Positive was not
even mentioned in such
circulation, moreover
the one related to the
establishment and
authority legitimacy. This
Kominfo side only
provided with a document
titled “SOP of handling
of Internet Sites with
Negative Contents”.
Such document does
not have any sign of
official document or
ratification, such as chop/
stamp/ letter number/
the authorized officer
signature, date and letter
number or letterhead of
Kominfo,” he said.
“With the absence of
sign/evidence of any
“ratification” on “SOP of
Handling of Internet Sites
17
Majalah IC T
No. 27• September 2014
with Negative Contents”
document sent by Kominfo
to respond to the request
of ICT Watch, then it can
be indicated that the
used SOP by such Trust
+ Positive is “illegal”
which clearly violates SOP
of Minister Regulation.
If then the Blocking
Minister Regulation that
has just been signed by
Menkominfo still uses Trust
+ Positive in its content
as the main principle,
(while Trust + Positive
does not have clear SOP),
then it can be declared
that Blocking Minister
Regulation violates SOP
Minister Regulation. Such
two Minister Regulations
are the legal products of
Kominfo,” affirmed Donny.
Minister Regulation
regarding blocking of
internet with negative
contents also obtained
objections from several
community independent
institutions (LSM). Several
LSMs who declined among
others are ICT Watch,
Indonesia Internet Service
Organizer Association
(APJII), Community Study
and Advocate Institution
(Elsam), Legal Aid
Institution Association,
SAFENET, Institute for
Criminal Justice Reform
(ICJR) as well as Indonesia
Independent Journalist
Alliance (AJI).
“If there is a policy that
negative content must
be blocked, such policy
must be revealed with
SPECIAL REPORT
procedures. Without
procedures there is
no way of knowing
whether such policy has
been implemented and
accountable,” said the
founder of ICT Watch
Donny Budi Utoyo at Kafe
Tjikini.
Donny explained that
ICT Watch has questioned
the presence of Trust +
Positive made by Kominfo
since 2011.
At least there are three
things that [the policy]
does not have namely
legitimacy, procedures
and performance audit
which are transparent and
accountable. “The right
on the internet access
is human right. All forms
of human right must
be regulated under the
law, instead of Minister
Regulation which is
technical in nature,” said
Donny. He revealed that
several sites which do not
have any pornographic
elements such as sites
containing information
on breastfeeding or
mother’s milk advocating
as well as the handicapped
accessibility are also
blocked due to the unclear
procedures. “For such
purpose we declare our
attitude by declining
such Kominfo Minister
Regulation,” he said.
These organizations are
now preparing legal steps
by applying for judicial
review to the Supreme
Court.
APJII Agrees With the Blocking, However…
I
ndonesia Internet
Service Organizer
Association confirmed
its attitude concerning
its support for the
government in blocking
sites with negative
contents. However, with
a note that such support
is provided so long as
the government itself
conducts the blocking
instead of the ISP which
is at the bottom and a
member of APJII.
This was conveyed
by General Chairman
of APJII, Sammy
Pengerapan. According
to Sammy his institution
supported negative sites
handling, particularly
those with pornographic
contents. “However we
wish that the blocking
was taken over by the
government in which
they are the ones who
conduct the blocking
instead of being handed
over to the ISPs,” he
said.
Sammy affirmed that
the blocking mechanism
that has not been
idealistic includes the
mechanism applied in
Minister Regulation
regarding Handling of
Sites with Negative
Contents. He said if
the blocking is given
to ISP, this will open
an unfavorable gap for
internet user privacy.
According to Sammy,
the blocking conducted
by the government
had the spirit to
orderly, uniformly and
responsibly handle sites
with negative contents.
“Technically ISP work is
only to connect access,
it cannot have the duty
of blocking, since if ISP
has such filter, it can
be used it for anything.
It can see your emails.
Therefore the mandate
of blocking should not go
to ISP,” he said.
Giving the blocking
to ISP, considered by
Sammy, is proven to be
ineffective, for instance
in the case of video
sharing site blocking
case, Vimeo, some times
age in which some videos
were blocked some were
not. “With the command
of direct blocking by the
government, according
to him, the process of
negative sites filtering
can be completed,” he
said again.

The Fate of Uber Service
which is “chased’ by Jakarta Capital City
Special Area Regional Government (DKI)
T
he Uber taxi
ordering service
which has been
successful in
several countries,
entered Indonesia on mid
August. On after several
days of enjoying the
transportation business
cake, Uber service
immediately caused
controversy.
This service is considered
by Deputy Governor of
Jakarta Basuki Tjahaha
Purnama or whose
nickname is Ahok as
damaging local taxis since
it is not imposed with
justice principle. Therefore
Ahok affirmed that this
vehicle ordering service
must be stopped.
According to Ahok, Uber
service can cause public
taxis which were just
officially operated to go
bankrupt. This was due
to the fact that other
taxis would not be able
to compete since Uber
did not comply with the
prevailing regulations.
“Uber is damaging. If we
use the justice principle,
does it intend to cause
all taxis to go bankrupt?
Therefore it has to be
stopped,” affirmed Ahok.
Ahok opines that Uber
at its own will plays the
rate of tariff. On the
other hand, Regional
Government has stipulated
public transportation rate
such as taxi. In addition,
Uber also does not pay
tax like other taxis. “It
is not fair, isn’t it? Taxi
companies pay tax which
tariff is determined by
Regional Government.
Further they all pay with
taxpayer registration
number as well right?
Compared to taxis which
don’t pay tax, they are
certainly able to provide
inexpensive tariff,” he
continued.
Ahok’s question affirmed
what was conveyed by
Transportation Services
of DKI which asked Uber
to close its car ordering
application on smart
phones as well as its
official site in Indonesia,
as stated by Head of
Transportation Service of
DKI Jakarta, Muhammad
Akbar.
According to Akbar,
Transportation Service
(Dishub) of DKI Jakarta
will coordinate with
Ministry of Communication
and Informatics. Since
Uber is considered as
vehicle rental service
without license, Dishub will
ask Kominfo to block Uber
service application and
site.
The effort of blocking
this Uber service is also
due to the fact that
Uber does not meet
the invitation of DKI
Regional Government for
further explanation on
such Uber service. “We
have tried to invite Uber,
but they did not come.
For this purpose we will
coordinate with Ministry
of Communication and
Informatics for the closing
of its site,” affirmed
Majalah IC T

Akbar.
Akbar also explained why
there was an intention to
close Uber site, this was
based on the difficulty
found by Dishub DKI
Jakarta in supervising and
taking firm action against
Uber unofficial taxis since
they are with black plate
numbers.
“Physically Uber cars are
just like any other private
cars therefore taking
firm action against them
is not easy. They look
like regular private cars,”
explained Akbar.
Akbar affirmed that
based on information,
despite Uber had just
provided service for
several days, Indonesia, it
had operated since June.
To date, he said, Uber had
not had taxi or rental car
operational license. “Uber
has not had license,” he
said.
Prohibited in Germany
The phenomenal taxi
ordering, Uber, turned out
to be prohibited in Berlin,
Germany. The government
of Berlin city explained
that Uber was prohibited
since the drivers and
the cars utilized by Uber
did not have any license
to carry passengers. In
addition, Uber does not
guarantee full insurance to
its passengers, therefore
its presence cannot be
considered as the legal
public transportation
fleet. It is different from

taxi meter tariff system
however in some ways
they are similar, a trip
through Uber tariff is not
displayed on the car’s
dashboard, instead on the
Uber application itself.
The payment system uses
credit card.
In Indonesia, Uber
cooperated with car
rental companies to
serve passengers
who wished to have
safe and comfortable
transportation service.
“We don’t have our
own fleet, and we don’t
provide taxi ordering
service. Uber cooperates
with rental companies
to provide different
experience for passengers
who wish to have safety
and comfort,” said Mike
Brown, Gneral Manager of
Uber in Southeast Asia.
It was mentioned that
car rental companies
cooperated with Uber
were companies which
were used to providing
delivery and pick up
services to hotels that
accommodate foreign
guests. If the guests wish
to have car rental service,
Uber will guarantee a
very professional driver’s
quality.
Uber itself is a
company established in
San Francisco which is
estimated to worth 18.2
billion USD. At this time,
Uber service has scattered
in 80 cities in North
America, 24 in Europe, 7
in Middle East, 4 in Africa,
27 cities in Asia, including
Jakarta.
Users of Uber application
can utilize their smart
phones in contacting
cars’ drivers who are at
the nearest locations for
their delivery service. The
cars and the drivers who
are utilized by Uber for
their service generally
come from local car rental
companies. Thus, Uber
does not provide its own
cars.
