\nfree-of-charge service on Wednesday; transmitting brief advice on
\nthe latest situation in Greater Jakarta (Jabotabek) to its local
\ncustomers.<\/p>\n
The prime information on the first day of the service was
\nreceived by Starko pager holders at 1:18 p.m. It read: \"Info
\nStarko: A student brawl is taking place under the Jatinegara
\nflyover.\"<\/p>\n
About 30 minutes later, the operator radioed about another
\nstudent brawl at the Tanah Abang bridge intersection.<\/p>\n
A student rally around Merdeka Palace was reported at 2:48
\np.m., about half an hour after it began, and another student
\nprotest in front of the Attorney General's Office was transmitted
\nat 3:26 p.m.<\/p>\n
\"It's just part of our service to our customers. We'll soon
\nlaunch another free information service on, for example, the U.S.
\ndollar rate,\" Starko customer relations staffer Intan told The
\nJakarta Post on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
She said the news on Info Jabotabek was gathered from
\n\"various reliable sources\" and Starko crew on the streets.<\/p>\n
\"We cooperate with no other parties. It's an internal
\nproject,\" Intan said, adding that all information from other
\nsources would never be transmitted before Starko staff had made
\non-the-spot checks.<\/p>\n
Starko pagers using the nationwide service package would not
\nbe able to receive the Info Jabotabek information, she said.
