Sisindosat plans expansion

JAKARTA (JP): PT Sisindosat Lintasbuana, a subsidiary of
PT Indosat, plans to become a multimedia content provider rather
than just providing telecommunications and information technology
services as it does at present.

"Multimedia related to business representation, education and
entertainment is expanding rapidly in Indonesia," Sisindosat's
president, A.M. Suseto, said.

Sisindosat also signed an agreement with PT Microsoft
Indonesia last week to act as its solution provider, authorized
technical education center and authorized training center.

Microsoft Indonesia's president, Andy B.T. Khoo, said that his
company would appoint only a select few distributors as corporate
partners.

In addition to Sisindosat, Microsoft Indonesia, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the multinational computer software company
Microsoft Corporation of the United States, has recently selected
two other authorized retail distributors, PT Tech Pacific
Indonesia and PT Sistech Kharisma.

Sisindosat was established in April 1990 by Indosat and
several other domestic companies to supply telecommunications and
information technology services. (icn)
