Competition CDMA and GSM technology
Society began to feel the benefits of competition in the telecommunications sector and competition in technology and business competition between operators provide a profitable alternative. With the entry of technology-based TelkomFlexi CDMA (code division multiple access), then the public can now enjoy mobile phone services with PSTN fixed phone rates. So cell phones are not luxuries anymore.
IN dealing with this competition, the role and regulatory consistency is tested. That is how the policy and regulatory policy for the telecommunications sector, the public interests above the interests of business players.
The main problem for governments is how to accelerate the addition of telecommunications infrastructure in Indonesia. Telephone density (teledensity) has been only 3.7 percent, or an average of three phones in a hundred people. Of course, this number would be smaller for the rural areas or remote areas that can only reach 0.01 percent. Required technological breakthroughs and regulations to boost Indonesia’s teledensity rate is far behind compared to countries of our neighbors.
