Research and Markets: Indonesia - Telecommunications Infrastructure

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/165de3/indonesia_teleco) has announced the addition of the "Indonesia - Telecommunications Infrastructure" report to their offering.

Indonesia, with its distinctively challenging geographical character, has been working over a long period to put its telecom infrastructure in place. When the government launched its Joint Operating Service (KSO) strategy back in 1994, it had hig hopes that this would be the main driver for the development of the national fixed-line telephone network. The KSO program fell well short of expectations, having to contend with, among other things, the effects of the 1997/98 economic crisis. The country has since made a fresh start on the building of its telecom infrastructure. Invigorated by the highly successful mobile segment on the back of increased competition in the marketplace, the country's telecom industry has found a fresh approach. This report looks at progress in building infrastructure, in particular the development of the fixed-line network, and describes some of the changes, as the industry picks up momentum again.
