Budi also said he had discussed with local cellular operators. According to Budi, Starlink's presence can actually stimulate local industries to issue Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
"So, why should we be afraid of Starlink. I have explained to the South (cell phone operator), when we are afraid, just launch LEO. So it could be a cut for them," said Budi.
"So the cut is also for friends with cellular telecommunications operators and operators to also improve, especially in terms of the technology aspect," he continued.
