Indonesian communications firms Telkom and Indosat are collaborating on providing a satellite service. Under the agreement, a new satellite will replace Indosat's Palapa C-2, which will stop orbiting in 2014, the Jakarta Post reports citing Telkom president Rinaldi Firmansyah. The companies will spend up to USD 200 million to procure a new satellite, which will provide HD television transmissions, as well as telecommunications services that require more bandwidth.
