"For now, Elon Musk can only provide special network access for the education and health sectors, especially in remote areas of Indonesia."

As for the provision of commercial internet networks, the government is still in ongoing discussions with Elon Musk. Because, according to Budi Arie, the government does not want to suffer losses from being deceived.

"Regular evaluations, whether it's monthly, bi-monthly, or quarterly. But we will continue to monitor. Because if it doesn't meet the requirements, it will be difficult for us. As the government, we have to protect our citizens. If suddenly deceived, suddenly there is a report of selling Starlink which turns out to be toy satellites, then we will suffer losses."

"Basically, whatever is imposed on mobile operators or telecommunications in Indonesia should also be imposed on Starlink, so that the level of playing field is the same."
