RIM Has Not Meet the Requirements Proposed by Indonesian Government

RIM only meet three of the four conditions proposed by Indonesia in order to the Blackberry service can be resumed in Indonesia.

These requirements are to facilitate wiretapping according to the laws applied in Indonesia, blocking negative content such as pornographic content, build sales service centers and build Network Aggregator.

The demand are not met by RIM is building Network Aggregator. instead RIM build a router in Singapore. Indonesian Telecommunications Regulatory Agency (BRTI) then gives an disappointment note to RIM regarding the construction of Network Aggregator in Indonesia.

Indonesia Telecommunication Regulatory Agency then recommends to the government through the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, to stop the BlackBerry Internet service if it does not qualify aggregator network development in Indonesia.

According to the Minister of Communications and Information Tifatul Sembiring, the construction of Network Aggregator is a provision of Act No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transactions.

He said that if RIM just want to sell phone products only, they will be treated the same as other manufacturers such as Nokia, Samsung and others. But because also sells the Blackberry internet service, then it will be governed by the applicable provisions.

Looks like RIM is not ignoring the request of the Indonesian Government . For RIM, the people of Indonesia has a high dependence on the Blackberry service so that they feel in control over the services they see themselves in Indonesia.

Indonesia is a potential market for RIM. And if these demands are not well met, the Indonesian government will take immediate action and the decision to wait for government regulations. If government regulation is issued, RIM will have problems marketing the Blackberry services in Indonesia.
