The rate was only US$ 0.47 (Rp 1,120) per minute. The tariff set by Indosat\/Satelindo for the same distance in the opposite direction is Rp.4,550 a minute. Within the U.S. long distance calls covering half the country during peak time are charged at $0.15 (Rp 350) a minute. Telkom charges Rp.1,650 per minute for a Jakarta-Surabaya call.",
