The document discusses spectrum management in Indonesia. It provides an overview of spectrum radio frequency management, policy planning and progress reports, spectrum licensing and usage, and problems and future challenges. Spectrum is a limited natural resource that is regulated and allocated to various users and services like broadcasting, cellular, and satellite. Licensing procedures are based on radio stations and bandwidth. Issues include inconsistent regional licensing and a need for stronger management institutions and human resources to handle complex problems and future technology trends.

SPECTRUM RESOURCES
 S-R as limited natural
resources
• Each individual or
institutions has a right in
using S-R comply with
the requirement
• In specific S-R band,
could be used as a
valueable economic by
the operator such as
cellular, TV, radio
broadcasting and
satellite

6. 6
SPECTRUM RESOURCES
MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES
• S-R management is based on comprehensive,
systematic and solid regulation
• Internationally implemented
• Developed in the supra-national regulation
• Accomodate future need
• Public welfare oriented, based on national need
and technology development adoption

7. 7
S-R MANAGE AS
A LIMITED RESOURCES
S-R as a limited resources should be managed
effectively and efficiently, through:
A. S-R usage dynamic and adaptive plan with public
need and technology development
B. S-R managed systematically and be supported by S-R
informations system that accurate and up to date
C. Control and supervison on the consistency and
effectively S-R usage
D. Regulation anticipation and a certainty in law
E. Strong S-R institution supported by professional
human resources and appropriate S-R information
system

8. S-R MANAGEMENT

FRAMEWORK
• Radio regulations elaborated to national master
plan in several radio communictaion services
• S-R regulated and allocated by DGPT :
– Radio and television broadcasting
– Cellular (CDMA, GSM/DCS, 3G)
– Radio Trunking
– Broadband Wireless Acces and Internet Access
– Satellite (C-Band, Extended C-Band, S-Band, L-Band,
Ku-Band)
– Microwave Link
– National defence and navigation
– Standardized radio and frequency plan

AND PROGRESS REPORT

11. 11
S-R REGULATION STATUS
 3G Frequency management (IMT-2000)
 FWA and Cellular 800 MHz
 IMT-2000 (1.9/2.1 GHz)
 Broadband Wireless Access frequency management
 BWA 2.3 GHz
 BWA other than 2.3 GHz
 Broadcasting frequency Management
 Analog: Radio (AM/FM) and television broadcasting
 Digitallization
 National defence frequency management
 Satellite licensing regulation

12. 3G Licensing Process (1)
2003 CAC Was Given 3G License through tender
2004 NTS received 3G frequency through evaluation
Jan 2005 Government plan to re-arrangement of 1.9/ 2.1 GHz, to
avoid non- efficiency and follow ITU-R M1036-2, through
Public Consultation
July 2005 Workshop re-arrangement of 1.9 / 2.1 GHz and to
conduct 3G selection
July – August A list of questionnaires put in web, 78 responders
2005 received

13. 3G Licensing Process (2)
End of August 2005 Government announcement on the policy of
re – arrangement and the selection of 3G Operators
Jan 2006 – Feb 2006 - Selection through pre-qualification and auction
- 3 blocks of 2x5 MHz will be auctioned to all mobile and FWA
- Auctions by two rounds with sealed envelope
- Basic reserved price being Rp 100 billions per block
RESULTS :
 7 operators registered
 5 submitted the pre-qualification bid
 5 bid for first round and second round selection
The Winner :
7-8 Feb 2006 TELKOMSEL bid for Rp 212 billions;
EXCELCOMINDO for Rp 188 Billions; And
INDOSAT bid for Rp 160 Billions
**CAC and NTS agreed to pay the lowest bid.
Consequences : Up front fee paid = twice the bid
Annual fee = as the lowest bid= paid progressively 20%, 40%,60%,80%,100%,130%..130%
Amount proceed for Government from the three operators :
Already paid (2006 )the sum of Rp 1322 billions
For the license year - 10 Years Rp 6032 billion

14. 2nd and 3rd Carrier for 3G
 Most subcribers get the broadband from the mobile
 The subcribers increase drastically
 I-Phone and Blackberry push the traffic of broadband
 Users habit, always connected to the social networking site
 Facebook fenomena
 Blackberry user increase 454% on 2007-2008, 366 % the year before
 Operator feels that the 5Mhz is not enough to give good quality 3G
services, so operator ask for another 5 MHz, and regulator offer to the
all operator for up front fee and annual fee with the lowest bid in 2006
 Only 2 (two) operator agree with regulator offering and already
allocated for the 2nd carrier in mid September 2009
 XL Axiata Got another 5 MHz on 2010
 NTS and HCPT are asking for 2nd carrier, Telkomsel and XL Axiata
are asking for 3rd carrier

15. BWA Licensing Process (1)
Feb 2006 Government plan to make BWA policy
25 April 2006 Workshop on BWA with speakers from
Regulator, major player, industry ASSI,
APJII, ATSI, Vendor, Chip manufactures
26 April – Questionnaires are put in Web for public
25 May 2006 responds
28 responses received

August 2006 Government plan to announce BWA-
WiMAX- Policy

16. BWA Licensing Process (2)
January 2009 Established Policy and Regulation of Broadband
Wireless Access
July 2009 Spectrum Auction for BWA in 2,3 GHz for 15
Zones, each zone consist of 2 x 15 MHz
Three round ascending simultaneous bid in e-
auction. 8 operator be winner for all zones with
total price is around USD 46 Million (up front fee)

17. SPECTRUM FEE
 For IMT-2000 2.1 GHz and BWA 2.3 GHz based on auction
result, other based on TRx based
 Regarding Ministerial Decree No. 17/2005, existing
assigned frequency band must be adjust from TRx based
to bandwidth based starting December 2010 for
simplification spectrum fee administrative and
calculation
 Fixed Wireless Access with Limited Mobility following
unified access licensing will be changed to full mobility

E. PROBLEM

22. 22
SOME ISSUES
REGIONAL ISSUE :
S-R license is taking over and issueing by local government with
Governor/Local Parliament regulation to get local income.
Therefore, there are several national inconsistency in using S-R,
some collision and interferences.
MANAGEMENT INSTITUTION ISSUE
• DG has not have enough expert to handle and prepare regulation,
to manage S-R following technology develepoment and facing with
more S-R need and more complex problems
• Limited Human Resources compare with Indonesian population and
geographical area must be handled

PROSPECT AND FUTURE
CHALLENGES
2. Creating S-R policy to realize Indonesian welfare
3. S-R should BE managed by a strong institution,
comprehensive, systemathic and profesional Human
Resources
4. Accomodating future need and technology trend
