3G, More Expanding More Popular

The more reasonable prices and the larger coverage of cellphones have encouraged the increase of 3G customers. Indosat has also made an expansion. This year Indosat is planning to enlarge the coverage of 3,5 G (Indosat's 3G is already HSDPA) on a national scale. After its presence in 17 cities, Indosat will expand its network up to 42 cities until end of 2008. Indosat will also strengthen its network in Greater Jakarta areas by adding about 500 node B HSDPA (BTS 3G). (Republika, pg 26)
