The majority of terrestrial LD infrastructures is currently owned and operated by 4 players i.e. Telkom, Indosat, XL and ICON+. A subsidiary of PGN - a national gas company - will also enter the market of LD network services (currently it is in the licensing process). Moratel which newly enters the business has progressively expanded its infrastructure and its service area. Moratel will operate its own international cable system, early this year.

Greenfoot
Last year I gave a programming lecture for a special class sent and sponsored by the government (DIKTI). I have no formal CS background, but I do programming a lot for my research. The class participants were mostly new to the programming world. So, I could not start with an applied programming lecture without mentioning some basic programming principles first.

Network Recovery and Survivability
I've been requested to fill two or three lecturing sessions in the "MBA Telecommunication" program. The lectures shall cover some or specific issues related to network management. I've been also told that the class audience consists of managers which possess a diverse, mostly non-electrical-engineering background. But they do affiliate with telcos. Now, the question is what topics shall be addressed?
Domestic Bandwidth Price
According to APJII, the Indonesian ISP Association, this year the price of international Internet bandwidth in Indonesia tends to decrease (reported by detik.com on 29/January/2008). Last year the price was in the range of USD 2.200 - USD 2.500 for each Mbps. But since early 2008 it has been reduced to around USD 1.800 for fiber access and around USD 1.300 to USD 1.500 for satellite links.
