Regarding Starlink services in Indonesia, Minister of Communication and Information (Menkominfo) Budi Arie Setiadi some time ago said that the satellite-based internet service provider, Starlink, would reach more areas that had geographical challenges and were untouched by local AJI because of its satellite-based technology, namely the low earth orbit (LEO) satellite.
As for the current status of Starlink's licensing, he said, it has fulfilled an operation-worthy test (ULO) which means that the company owned by businessman Elon Musk already has a permit as a telecommunications organizer in Indonesia.
Budi saidStarlink would not damage the ecosystem owned by local internet service providers (PJI) who had already operated in Indonesia.
