Jakarta, 6 January 2013 . Pertaining to media report regarding “Designation of PT Indosat Tbk. (Indosat) and PT Indosat Mega Mega (IM2) as suspects on the presumption of misuse of radio frequency 2.1 GHz case by IM2”, President Director and Chief Executive Officer of Indosat, Alexander Rusli, wish to convey the following:

” Until today, Indosat and IM2 have not received formal information on the designation as suspects in the presumption of misuse of radio frequency 2.1 GHz case. We will send a letter to the Attorney General Office early this week to request further information. The presumption of misuse of 2.1 GHz radio frequency is incorrect. The cooperation between Indosat and IM2 to use cellular network (wireless) on 2.1 GHz frequency is to provide internet services by IM2. IM2 is an Internet Service Provider (ISP) which is defined as Telecommunications Service Provider in Article 1, point 14 of Law 36/1999. As a Telecommunications Service Providers, the telecommunications network used by IM2 is provided by Telecommunications Network Operator, as mandated by Article 9 paragraph (2) of Law 36/1999 jo Article 13 of Government Regulation 52/2000 jo Article 5 KM 21/2001. Indosat-IM2 Agreement is legitimate, as explained by the Minister of Communications and Information Letter No. 65/M.Kominfo/02/2012 dated February 24, 2012. In the letter, the Minister also made it clear that Indosat and IM2 have fulfilled all obligations to the State and there is no obligation for IM2 to pay frequency fee with respect to its cooperation with Indosat ”.

The licence to utilise the 2.1 Ghz radio frequency has been granted to Indosat. Based on such licence, Indosat builds and operates the telecommunications network at such radio frequency, as well as satisfying all Non Tax State Revenue payment obligations to the State i.e.: The Spectrum Upfront Fee (only paid on the first year), The Right To Use of Frequency Fee, The Right To Conduct Telecommunication Service Fee, and The Universal Service Obligation (USO) contribution. As an internet service provider, IM2 is merely utilising Indosat telecommunication network (not sharing spectrum frequency), whereas the network utilization by an internet service provider duly complies with the Telecommunications Law.

Alexander Rusli added, ”Indosat has fully paid the obligations for the 2.1 GHz licence to the Government based on the prevailing regulations. As a public company, Indosat is always committed to comply and follow the prevailing laws and regulations, as implementation of the Good Corporate Governance”.

Since this issue started, the Indonesian telecommunication regulators and the Indonesian telecommunication communities have provided their full support towards Indosat and IM2 as indicated by their statements in various media and forums.
