        "summary": "Indonesia's House of Representatives Commission I has endorsed a Constitutional Court ruling that mandates internet quota purchased by consumers must remain usable until depleted without additional charges. The decision, which partially granted a petition from online drivers and traders, requires operators to offer services ensuring unused data is protected as consumer property. Lawmakers pledged to oversee implementation, viewing the ruling as a catalyst for a healthier, more transparent telecommunications ecosystem.",
        "content": "<p>The House of Representatives Commission I has welcomed the\nConstitutional Court\u2019s ruling ordering that internet quota already\npurchased by consumers can be used until it runs out without any\nadditional fees. Deputy Chairman of Commission I Dave Laksono assessed\nthe ruling as a positive step towards strengthening consumer rights\nprotection. \u201cWe respect the Constitutional Court\u2019s ruling which mandates\nthat telecommunications service providers offer service options so that\nremaining internet quota purchased by subscribers can still be\nutilised,\u201d Dave told reporters on Saturday (25\/7\/2026). \u201cFor Commission\nI of the Indonesian House of Representatives, this ruling is a positive\nstep in strengthening consumer rights protection while encouraging\nimprovements in the quality of telecommunications services in\nIndonesia,\u201d he continued. According to him, the implementation of the\nruling falls under the authority of the government together with\nregulators in the telecommunications sector. He expressed confidence\nthat the government would promptly prepare implementing regulations to\nprovide legal certainty for all parties. \u201cWe believe the government will\nprepare implementing provisions that provide certainty for all parties,\nboth the public as service users and telecommunications service\nproviders, so that its implementation can run effectively and fairly,\u201d\nhe said. The Golkar Party politician also expressed hope that all\ntelecommunications operators would implement the Constitutional Court\u2019s\nruling. He urged that the ruling be enforced. \u201cWe hope all\ntelecommunications operators respect and implement the Constitutional\nCourt\u2019s ruling in good faith,\u201d he stated. \u201cCompliance with court rulings\nis part of legal certainty as well as a manifestation of the industry\u2019s\ncommitment to building public trust through services that are\nincreasingly transparent, high-quality, and oriented towards customer\ninterests,\u201d he added. Furthermore, his party will oversee the\nimplementation of the ruling to ensure it runs consistently and provides\ntangible benefits to the public. Dave also expressed hope that this\nruling would become a momentum to create a healthier telecommunications\necosystem. \u201cWe hope this step becomes a momentum to realise a healthier,\nfairer, and more competitive telecommunications ecosystem, so that\nconsumer rights protection, business certainty, and the acceleration of\nIndonesia\u2019s digital transformation can proceed in a balanced and\nsustainable manner,\u201d he concluded. The Constitutional Court partially\ngranted the petition in case number 273\/PUU-XXIII\/2025 filed by online\nmotorcycle taxi driver Didi Supandi, online food trader Wahyu Triana\nSari, and lecturer\/advocate Rega Felix. The Court ordered that purchased\ninternet quota must be usable until it runs out without any additional\ncharges. \u201cAdjudicating, to grant the petitioners\u2019 request in part,\u201d said\nChief Justice of the Constitutional Court Suhartoyo in the ruling seen\non the Court\u2019s YouTube channel on Thursday (23\/7\/2026). The Court\ndeclared that the provision on tariffs in the Job Creation Law is\nconditionally unconstitutional unless it is interpreted to mean that the\ntariff must be set based on a formula determined by the central\ngovernment with the obligation to provide service options ensuring that\nremaining internet quota belonging to telecommunications service users\nremains active and usable. In its considerations, the Court stated that\ninternet quota that has been purchased must be usable until it is\nexhausted by the consumer. The Court emphasised that no additional fees\nmay be imposed. \u201cIn real terms, quota that has not been fully used or\nenjoyed must remain protected as the property of the telecommunications\nservice user to be used until the quota is exhausted without being\ncharged additional fees under the pretext of extending the active period\nor for any other reason,\u201d said Constitutional Justice Adies Kadir during\nthe ruling pronouncement session at the Constitutional Court building.\nThe Court provided options so that internet quota does not simply\nexpire, including accumulation or rollover of quota, extension of the\nactive period, transfer of benefits, compensation, refund, or other\nforms of protection.<\/p>",
