Indonesian communications firms, Telkom and Indosat have come together to install a satellite for telecom as well as for HDTV services for $200 million.
As per the agreement, a new satellite will replace Indosat’s Palapa C-2, which will stop the course in 2014.
According to Telkom President, Rinaldi Firmansyah, Telkom and Indosat will spend up to US$200 million to purchase the new satellite, which will also be capable of delivering next generation high definition television (HDTV), and other bandwidth hungry telecoms services.
Indosat presently owns two satellites, whereas Telkom has two in operation and is planning to launch another satellite next year.
