- The Ministry of Communication and Informatics (“Ministry”), through the Selection Team for 2.3 GHz Radiofrequency Band Users in the 2.360 - 2.390 MHz Range for the Purpose of Organizing Cellular Mobile Networks (“Selection Team”) recently announced that the selection process for 2.3 GHz radio frequency band users in the 2.360 - 2.390 MHz range for the organization of cellular mobile networks has now been terminated.
- The selection process has been terminated as a precautionary, prudential measure and is a move that has been deemed necessary by the Ministry in order to ensure that all parts of the selection process are fully aligned with the relevant provisions set out under laws and regulations that relate to Non-Tax State Revenue (Penerimaan Negara Bukan Pajak/PNBP) at the Ministry, particularly Regulation of the Government No. 80 of 2015.
- In line with this decision, all selection process results that have already been published and transparently announced to the public, including the results that were announced on 15 December 2020 through press release No.171/HM/KOMINFO/12/2020 and on 18 December 2020 through press release No. 173/HM/KOMINFO/12/2020, have now been declared canceled.
- As a follow-up to the termination of the selection process, as well as to provide legal certainty to all selection participants that have already submitted selection participation guarantee documents (bid bonds), the Ministry decided to return said bid bonds on Friday, 22 January 2021.
- The Ministry will immediately take more prudent follow-up measures in order to ensure that the limited natural resource of the radiofrequency spectrum, particularly the 2.3 GHz radiofrequency band in the 2.360 – 2.390 MHz range, will be able to provide maximum benefit to Indonesian citizens.
