Erik said, the discount rate given the possibility Esia will be followed by another operator. fare and war can only
going off for a conversation or conversations inter-operator net. But, the possibility can not provide all the service rates discount off net for discussion, especially the GSM operators.

“During This does not have a GSM do so. If they can, certainly they already do from the first, “specifically fare war between the service the last few years, triggered Esia in 2006. Including advertising in the capital city daily on June
2006. that invites a lot of attention because it is considered very unique and tend to irritate.

Board Telematika Indonesia Society (Mastel) Wigrantoro, rate, the service will need to see problems introspective fare.

This is due to the increasingly tight competition. If there is still operator is not efficient, is reflected from the expensive services offered, the opertor will not be able to compete. “Plans to reduce the weight or the like cheating in
the balance, so slowly will be abandoned by customers, “he said. Plans also no reason to complain, expanding coverage to be delayed because of pressure rate of speech inter-operator the increasingly cheap.

“If there is a complain, this is certainly a small complaint service, or operator when entering a new market is crowded and competition is popularity. For the operator or a large entry in the early-early competition, issues such as this is not felt, “he said. Erik rate to the front of the operator must provide a cheaper rate.

Meanwhile, on the other hand customer can benefit can call the time is longer. For now, Esia discount rate limit only on the number five and must be registered first. Erik give arguments, in fact only intensive customers to phone not more to the number five.

While the discount is not more than 25%, as Esia must consider the interconnection fares. “It is not possible to give
