Indosat provides IM3 services in Jambi

JAMBI, Indonesia: The country's second largest
telecommunication firm, PT Indonesian Satellite Corporation
(Indosat), on Saturday inaugurated its IM3 cellular services in
Jambi, a province on the island of Sumatra.

The publicly listed company on the same day simultaneously
opened IM3 services in other areas, including Bengkulu, the
Kalimantan cities of Samarinda and Palangkaraya, and Gorontalo,
Palu and Kendari in Sulawesi.

"There were at least 1.2 million cell phone users in Sumatra
in 2004 who used Indosat products including Mentari, Matrix and
IM3 services," Indosat senior vice president for regional Sumatra
Guntur S. Siboro said in a statement.

Indosat would increase its Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) by
70 percent in Sumatra this year to support its cellular phone
expansion, he said. -- JP
