Telkomsel cuts rates

PT Telekomunikasi Selular (Telkomsel), the nation's biggest mobile-phone operator, cuts tariffs for calls between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. to compete with rivals PT Indosat and PT Excelcomindo Pratama. The new rates, lower by as much as 83 percent for inter- city calls, are for subscribers who pay their bills monthly, the firm said in an e-mailed statement. The move followed the company's decision earlier this month to cut prices for its prepaid service for calls made during the same period. -- Bloomberg
