Indosat Is Selling Its BTS Towers




News has it that Indosat has sold 7000 units (from approx 9.413) of their Base Transceiver Station (BTS). The tender is supposedly being held on December 2007, with PT Indonesian Tower, PT Mahkota Teknologi (Emtek) and PT Protelindo as bidders. It was also reported that only Emtek and Protelindo still remains on the race.

Rumour has it that the winner has already been 'fixed' for Emtek. And currently Emtek is finalizing for 'coordination contract' with Asia Tower International Singapore (or Tower Asia Pte Ltd??). Asia Tower / Tower Asia is a 'subsidiary' company of Temasek Holding Singapore which is one of the major owner of Indosat itself.

Commenting on this event; a member of BRTI, Kamilov Sagala said "there is a possibility that Asia Tower will put a 'premium price' for its tower for rent by Indosat".
Responding to this issue, Indosat's spokeperson; Adita Irawati said "the tender is currently being 're-considered'. and there hasn't been any definite decision from Indosat's management team".

Let's see how the deal really goes...
