By yesterday (7/8/2008) PT. Infokom Elektrindo has renounced its membership in the Palapa Ring consortium. Thus it now consists of only 5 companies. From several VIPs of the consortium in a press release, several things are revealed:- The consortium has to find funding for around USD 15 mio. previously committed by Infokom; it is (still) assumed that the project's cost is approximately USD 225 mio.
- Alternatively, it might change network configuration (routes, landing points, and also sections); it was said that the consortium is open for any proposal from the contractor candidates.
- The proposals are still in the evaluation process (means delays ... :-) ... see the pic)
- The VIPs have explicitly also said that due to "indutrial peak seasons" the schedule might further be delayed (the milestone diagram in the picture was released in 3/2008)
