Govt. names eight BWA operators
The Communications and Information Minister on Wednesday named eight operators of broadband wireless access (BWA) in 15 zones across the country, Asia Pulse reported.
Development of high speed BWA is expected to result in lower internet tariffs, deputy chairman of the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Anindya Bakrie said.
Bakrie said demand for internet service is expected to grow faster in the coming years marked with growing numbers of subscribers and users.
He said the country's telecommunications industry is predicted to grow between 20%-25% this year and the growing number of internet users will allow operators to cut tariffs.
Separately, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Wednesday said the government would intensify development of its telecommunication and telephone infrastructure to connect all villages across the country to the internet by 2010.
