Indonesia Mobile Market - Outlook to 2010

China overcame the United States to be known as the world's largest market for mobile phones a few years ago, but the growth in Indonesia has been equally stunning. Over 20 million Indonesians now own mobile phones, roughly about eight percent of the country's 220 million population. And we expect significant growth is still to come. We expect the country to reach 60 million subscribers by 2007. Foreign expertise, capital and technology are sought to make this still underdeveloped mobile economy competitive. Singapore, Chinese and Korean telecommunications companies have made strong inroads already.

The Indonesia market is appealing for GSM based service providers, as well as CDMA based wireless local loop WLL limited mobility services - primarily because CDMA lower initial costs are a key factor for increasing teledensity. Recently PT Mobile-8 Telecom launched Indonesia's first CDMA service and invested in infrastructure to reach one million subscribers by the end of 2004, and 2 million lines by the end of 2005. The fixed wireless providers in Jakarta have started significant new marketing programs to attract subscribers by offering free airtime and free SMS.

Indonesia mobile users have a passion for SMS with a Text to Voice usage ratio of 10:1.
