Constitutional Court Urges Mobile Operators to Convene to Find Solutions for Expired Internet Quotas

The hearing, held on Thursday (21 May 2026), was a continuation of case numbers 33/PUU-XXIV/2026 and 273/PUU-XXIII/2025, concerning a material test of Article 71(2) of Law No. 6 of 2023 on Job Creation in conjunction with Article 28 of Law No. 36 of 1999, relating to rules on expired internet quotas. ‘If possible and I hope these service providers such as XL, Indosat, then Telkomsel under ATSI. Could you meet collectively under the association and then try to offer a formula that is relevant to this petition,’ said Saldi during the hearing. ‘Don’t just defend, because previously the defence was: ’Oh this will threaten development, this could collapse and so on’ okay,’ he added. ‘But the Court must also take into account the real losses suffered by consumers,’ he said again. Therefore, Saldi reminded that there should be a joint meeting among the mobile operators and offer alternatives to the MK judges. ‘Meanwhile, consumers should not be harmed. That is the judges’ way of thinking,’ he said. Saldi added that the role of a judge is to maintain a balance between business profits and the principle of not harming the citizen. ‘Because this is one of the purposes of establishing the Constitutional Court — to protect the constitutional rights of citizens. That is what must be considered most,’ he concluded.
