Palapa users' meeting

JAKARTA (JP): Private telecommunications operator PT Satelindo
will hold today a Palapa users' meeting show appreciation to its
Palapa-C satellite leasing customers.

Company general manager of satellite operations, Kanaka
Hidayat, said the meeting at the Bali Inter-continental hotel in
Jimbaran, Bali, was also aimed at keeping the customers that use
Palapa C1 and C2 satellites.

"We are looking for input and suggestions from the users to
improve our services. Satellite competition in Asia is getting
fiercer now," he said.

Satelindo also runs cellular and international
telecommunications services and has about 60 companies leasing
the two Palapa C satellites' transponders, he said.

He said that these companies included telecommunications and
broadcasting companies leasing between one-sixteenth of a
transponder to two transponders. (icn)
