Telkom to Use PGN Optical Fiber Capacity
State gas distributor PT Perusahaan Gas Negara (PGN) said it has signed an agreement with PT Telkom allowing the state telecommunications company to utilize spare capacity on PGN's optical fiber network, XFN-Asia reported on Tuesday (17/4/07).
PGN has built an optical fiber network along its South Sumatra-Singapore border gas pipeline and is building another network along its South Sumatra-West Java gas pipeline. The networks are used to monitor the pipelines.
In a statement, PGN said the two groups have agreed to "formulate (a) joint business operating scheme that benefits both parties" but gave no further details.
"This strategic cooperation will certainly provide additional value-added to both parties," PGN president Sutikno said.
PGN was unable to commercialize its optical fiber network, as it has no license from the government.
