Final 3G:
Telkomsel
vs XL
F
inally, as predicted, Telkomsel and XL finally made
it to document verifiction stage and went up
against each other to win the channels 11 and
12 of 1,900 MHz tapes. Particularly for channel
11, such channel will be contested since channel 12
is alleged to be interferred by Smart Telecom signal
transmission.
Actually there were 3 operators that
submitted offering documents, namely
Telkomsel, XL, and Indosat. From ICT
Magazine source it is reported that
Telkomsel and XL documents were declared
complete, while Indosat missed several
documents, therefore it was declared
incomplete. Despite there has not been
any announcement, the incompleteness
of document causes a participant to be
disqualified.
If XL and Telkomsel will indeed compete each other,
it is in compliance with the statement that both
operators are the most interested parties and require
additional frequency spectrum at present. Indosat has
been in a safe position since it has already obtained
allocation of 42.5 at 900 MHz in total after its
spectrum on 900 MHz had been neutralized by Ministry
of Communication and Information (Kemenkoinfo).
Meanwhile Axis still has enough with 25 Mhz to
service its users at this time, and HCPT with the name
of product Tri can still utilize the second block that it
obtained in December of 2011. HCPT interest is only
in order for the both blocks owned by them at this
present to be contigous.

If indeed XL
and Telkomsel
compete each
other, this is
in compliance
with the
statement that
both operators
are the most
interested
parties and
require
additional
frequency
spectrum at
present.
If qualify to the document selection stage, the
qualified participant will go on to the next stage
in which “beauty contest” or feasibility evaluation
is started. Feasibility evaluation is conducted
towards feasibility documentation submitted by
Selection Participant when submitting Application
Document.
The elements evaluated in terms of feasibility
are in compliance with what are stipulated in
Selection Document, namely technique, financial
management and regulatory compliance of
Selection Participant.
Technical evaluation concerns what has been
developed by operators with the 10 MHz that has
been allocated in cities distributed by selection
team as well as what the future plan is.
Meanwhile financial management concerns
the corporation financial plan in the future
to exercise the development commitment
conveyed technically including the operator
financial condition at present. On the other
hand regulatory compliance concerns more to
the compliance of this 3G technology usage by
operator. Usage Right (BHP) of Frequency that
has been used includes the payment of fines.
Feasible evaluation is conducted with value
system providing certain numbering value on each
element valued and if in the feasibility evaluation
there are matters that are unclear or doubtful,
Selection Team may clarify with Selection
Participants.
From the evaluation result, Selection Team
determines Selection result rank with the order
of Selection result ranking based on the highest
valuation of feasibility evaluation result. In the
event there is a similar number of valuation,
therefore ranking order determination is seen
from the higher evaluation value of financial
management.
From such result, Selection Team announces
Selection result through Ministry of
Communication and Informatics, and if according
to schedule, Ministry of Communication and
Informatics will officially determine the feasible
operator in obtaining additional 3G block on March

3G tender beauty contest on channels 11
and 12 of 2.1 GHz tape has entered selection
stage. From three operators that have
submitted their documents only Telkomsel
and XL’s documents are complete and are entitled
to the next stage.
From such two operators who has a better
chance? Judging from the existing technical data,
Telkomsel’s chance may be a little above XL’s,
particularly if viewed from the number of customers
that reached 125 million people and data customer
that reached 54 million at the end of last year that
were served by 54,000 units of BTS with 3G BTS
of more than 13,000 units, not to mention the
target of data customers of up to 82 million
people until the end of this year.
Meanwhile XL, from the total of customers
of 42.3 million on the third quarter of

“Telkomsel
and XL are
predicted
to win one
channel each,
considering
both operators’
needs that are
urgent.
2012, 60 percent were data
customers, and this percentage is
expected to be 75% at the end of
2013.
XL data network is claimed to be
available in 22 cities. In 2013, XL
targets its 3G service to reach 40
cities by the end of this year.
To increase 3G capacity, XL
certainly hopes to win 3G channel
selection. However, viewed from
customer quality, many of XL
customers use data service actively, while there are
still many Telkomsel customers using basic phone
which reach 47 million customers.
3G network on frequency spectrum of 2.1 GHz has a
total of 60 MHz tape stretch divided into 12 channel
blocks. Each block has 5MHz tape stretch.
As many as 10 channel blocks have been allocated
for five GSM cellular operators, holders of 3G licenses,
namely Telkomsel with blocks 4 and 5, Indosat with
blocks 7 and 8, XL Axiata with blocks 9 and 10, Axis
Telekomunikasi Indonesia with blocks 2 and 3 and
Hutchison Cp Telecommunications (Tri) with blocks 1
and 6.
Both XL and Telkomsel intend to control the
remaining 2 channels at the same time, namely
channels 11 and 12. Moreover, XL that controls the
existing channels 9 and 10 certainly is passionate to
unite all the channels it owns therefore all four of them
will be next to each other.
Telkomsel, with 125 million customers under its belt
is also very interested in obtaining such additional
channels. However, obviously this 3G selection
has been able to be predicted since the beginning,
moreover, Indosat has been awarded with 3G tape on
its 900 MHz frequency.
Telkomsel and XL are predicted to win one channel
each, considering after this tender Kemenkoinfo
will restructure in order for each operator to own
frequency channel side by side.
There is no way of knowing that the winner of
channels 11 and 12 will use such channels after the
restructuring. (majalahICT/ap)

SO (Universal Service Obligation) is a form of
government obligation to guarantee public
service availability for each citizen, particularly
telecommunication and informatics services.
Rural Telecommunication and Informatics Hall (BTIP)
that was changed to become Telecommunication
and Informatics Provider and Manager Hall (BP3TI)
is a government institution under Ministry of
communication and Informatics that organizes USO.
USO fund is levied by BP3TI from telecommunication
operators as Non Tax State Revenue (PNBP).
BP3TI generates USO fund through PNBP from
communication organizer operators in the amount of
0.75% from gross income each year.
Starting in 2007 USO levy percentage increased to
become 1.25% from gross income, as regulated under
Minister Of Communication an Informatics Regulation
No.5/PER/M.KOMINFO/2/2007. Provision on type
and rate of PNBP tariff for such USO program is also
expressed in Government Regulation No.7/2009.
In 2010 BP3TI posted an income from USO service
in the amount of IDR1.36 trillion, increased by 23%
compared to 2009 income in the amount of IDR1.1
trillion.
Since 2012, the government has levied for USO fund
not only from network organizers but also from service
providers such as Internet Service Provider (ISP) and
USO will also be levied from content provider and
technology service provider such as Blackberry.
Issues arose when voice service and District Internet
Service Program were held in villages. The issue was
that such program was not targeted properly. It did
not see the regional capability/limitedness such as
electricity limitedness, denizens access, and others.
Onno W. Purbo, Internet expert, revealed that it was
Kemenkoinfo that always claimed to have connected
more than 5,000 villages. “It seems not that good,”

he said. Meanwhile, Indonesia Telecommunication
User Group (ldtug) alleges that several PLIK warnet
(internet shop) at District Internet service (PLIK)
developed by Kemenkoinfo are mostly broken,
abandoned, and useless.
Such organization also found PLIK warnet that
changed its function to become commercial warnet run
by individuals.
“There are PLIKs that changed their names to
become commercial warnets, there are also computers
that are still wrapped, dusty and broken, there are
some locked at village unit cooperation offices (KUD),”
said Y. Bambang Sumaryo at IDTUG.
PLIK was also at one point complained by Community
Information Barn (LIRA), an independent community
institution. According to LIRA, in Java region PLIK
is estimated to be 50% incomplete and in Sumatra
region 70% has not been achieved despite the settled
payment.
LIRA opines that USO fund management which
amount reaches up to IDR1.4 trillion per year is not
transparent.
Funding for 1 PLIK is around IDR75 to 85 million and
there are around 6,000 districts all over Indonesia or
almost IDR500 billion per year.(majalahICT/ap)

from USO and PLIK program failure
to USO fund absorption that is not

In responding to such issue, BP3TI
Santoso Serad revealed that his party
was paying a closer attention to such
opinion.
“Our evaluation result will be directed
to the core issue, namely the availability
of bandwith, electricity, and open source
human resources,” said the man whose
nick name is pak haji.
According to him, in addition to the
core issue there is also a derivative
issue. Consequently, added Santoso,
PLIK/MPLIK was held with lack of
success. BP3TI admitted that it is now
searching for methods in order for such
program to run according to the initial
objectives and can be enjoyed by the
community optimally.
PLIKs that are scattered all over
Indonesia do not run well according
to their objectives. PLIKs are even
considered as 90% inactive in all cities/

increased in
two fold in the
last two years. Up to the
third quarter last year, the number
of malware detected reached up to 41,051 cases or
increased by around 291% compared to 2011.
According to Isnur Rochmad, Country Manager of
NQ Mobile Inc., the need of safe mobile environment
has become very important in 2013 and the years
ahead since according to data mobile security threat
increases from year to year.
Based on NQ Mobile research, in 2009 only 1,649
cases of malware attacks were found. Then in 2010,
6,760 cases were found, in 2011, 24,794 were found
and in 2012 (up to the third quarter of 2012) 41,051
cases were found.
Other facts, more than 22.7 million of mobile devices
have been infected by mobile malware up to the third
quarter in 2013. The top five countries with infected
mobile devices are China (23.3%), US (20.5%), India
(18.4%), Russia (13.2%) and England (8.3%).
Mobile malware trend is highly affected by popularity
of platform operating system of smartphone. Android
is one of the operating systems attacked by malware,
namely in the amount of 94.7%, followed by Symbian
(4.20%) and Windows Mobile (0.90%).
There are several malware infections through

“Android is one
of operating
systems
attacked by
malware the
most, namely in
the amount of
94.7% followed
by Symbian
(4.20%),
Windows
Mobile (0.90%).
One of the techniques mostly used by malware to
infect such smartphone is by piggybacking, i.e. adding
malware application to popular application and creating
new file applications. The original file application is
disassembled, added with malware and repackaged.
Then such applications with malware are distributed
with various methods for instance through application
store or at portals.
It is even possible that cyber criminals purchase
traffic mobile advertising to stimulate users to
download applications with the above malware. When
users install applications with malware the application
to be installed will include the malware.
Applications that are often the targets of
piggybacking are games, powerful utilities and
pornographies.
There are also other methods through original
application upgrade to malware application. In addition
to the above threats, there is actually a traditional
threat that causes inconvenience in smartphone
usage, namely if there are lost or stolen smartphones
or tablets, meanwhile in the lost devices there are
sensitive data in the form of emails, SMS, Call logs,
photographs, video or others.
The fall of smartphone to the hands of others
may cause the fall of sensitive data to irresponsible
people that may take advantage or cause loss for the
smartphone owners.
Increased Smartphone
Ben Siagian, Country Manager of Qualcomm Indonesia
said the increase of malware against smartphone
recently had been related to the vast growth of
smartphone in the last couple of years.
In Indonesia alone, according to Gfk data, smartphone
growth reaches 20% per year. If in 2011 the number
of smartphone was only 8 million, therefore up to the
end of this year smartphone is predicted to reach 13
million and will continue growing to 18 million in 2015.
Not only smartphone, tablet growth also increases
vastly, in which CAGR in 2011-2016 reaches 41% far

asnul Suhaimi, may be the most popular figure
among the telecommunication industry. In
addition to be an expert in telecommunication
technical matters, this man who leads a cellular
operator, XL Axiata is very fluent in explaining the
industry from financial aspect.
Friendly with journalists and appreciates their
performance, he gains much sympathy from the media.
In addition to playing golf, in his spare time Husnul

“I am now preparing to become a lecturer,” he said to

work and family. “I try to be present in family events.

The goal that has not been
achieved is to become an
educator.
rending is quite moderate towards his children, he
allows his children to own cellular phones when they
are in the first or second grade of junior high school.
Like the flowing water, that’s Hasul life motto, which
if one obtains happiness he should be grateful, and on
the contrary if one is in trouble he should try to be
patient and sincere along with efforts and prayers in
facing such trouble.
Hasnul was not always successful in his work and life,
sometimes he also found a few obstacles and failures,
just like when XL Axiata experienced a decreased
number of customer.
“At the time I introspected and analyzed to
determine steps and policies required.”
However, beyond that, Hasnul continues to record
achievements that are quite phenomenal, particularly
in his work field leading the third largest cellular phone
operator in Indonesia.
“I feel successful when targets and achievements
expected in the company can be reached, for example
the launch of IDR1 for fellow XL was a successful
achievement in my opinion.” he said.
Because, he said, at the time tariff for phoning in
Indonesia was quite expensive, by reducing tariff
and providing affordable price, he felt that he had
contributions for the community therefore customers
increased which at the end of the day resulted in large
achievement for his company.
When asked about his unachieved goals, he said
he wanted to be an educator, and it is now almost
achieved by becoming a lecturer in the University of
Indonesia.
Meanwhile the secret recipe for success in leading
an operator in the middle of tight competition is to
run “outside in”. “What is expected by the customers
from XL will be sought and exercised therefore
at the end of the day we can create customers
satisfaction.”(majalahICT/ap)

No.03• February 1—15, 2013
I
n the near future Indonesia will own a regulation
regarding technical requirements of better
telecommunication equipment and device. This
matter is expected to be sought after the
completion of public test conducted by Ministry
of Communication and Informatics towards
Minister of Communication Draft of Bill regarding
Telecommunication Equipment and Device
Technical Requirements Preparation Guidelines.
On the consideration part, it is stated that the
main consideration in this RPM Preparation is the
use of equipment and device made, assembled,
included to be traded and/ or used in the area
of the Republic of Indonesia must be in view of
the technical requirements and by virtue of
the license in accordance to the provisions of
laws and regulation. In addition, the substance
present in Minister of Transportation Number
KM. 3 of 2001 regarding Telecommunication
Equipment and Device Technical Requirement
is no longer suitable with
the present condition
REGULASI
therefore it needs to be replaced.
Several matters regulated under this RPM are
among others technical requirement formula
with the International or regional standards or
national telecommunication industrial, innovation
and engineering results. Meanwhile the scope of
telecommunication equipment and device technical
requirements includes Network group, Access
Group and Customer Premises Equipment.
Considering the age of the previous
regulation which was about 12 years old,
the new regulation is expected to clarify the
telecommunication equipment and device
technical regulation corridor. As stated in
Article 2 of Minister Regulation Plan, these
telecommunication device and equipment
technical requirements are useful in guaranteeing
interrelationship in telecommunication
network, preventing disturbance from
one telecommunication equipment and
device to another, protecting community
from the possibility of loss caused by
telecommunication equipment and device
use and what is also important is the drive
to develop national telecommunication
technological industry, innovation, and
engineering.
In the future, under this regulation,
community, even all stakeholders
participations will also be involved. It
is also stated that the preparation of
Telecommunication equipment and
device Technical Requirements will
be conducted by a Study Group. This
group may consist of the government,
industrial group, telecommunication
organizers, community, research
institutions, consumer institution,
colleges and testing halls.
Let’s hope that the
implementation will be as good as
the regulation.
