- The Commissioner of the Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (badan regulasi telekomunikasi Indonesia – “BRTI”), Agung Harsoyo, has revealed that the frequency sharing concept, as incorporated under the new Law No. 11 of 2020 on Job Creation (“Job Creation Law”), will be implemented in an attempt to avoid monopolistic practices.
- However, the frequency sharing concept, as specifically addressed under the Job Creation Law, has been designated for newly emerging technologies, specifically 5G connectivity, and thus will not apply to 4.75G and 4.9G networks.
- Mr. Harsoyo also stated that the frequency sharing framework will be required due to the high-investment nature of 5G systems. As a result, through sharing arrangements, it is expected that the organization of these new technologies will not be handled by just one or two operators. Moreover, during the implementation of this strategy, the government will act cautiously in order to avoid the handover and trading of frequencies by telecommunications companies, since frequencies are a limited resource in Indonesia.
- Finally, Mr. Harsoyo has stated that possible implementing regulations will be formulated through collaboration between the BRTI, the Ministry of Communications and Informatics and the Coordinating Minister for the Economy. (ANT)
