Indonesia Unlikely to Get 4G Until 2014 at the Earliest
Published on:
The Indonesian government does not expect 4G based services to become widespread in the country until 2014 at the earliest.
"The adoption of 4G is not easy and if we are not careful we may be blamed later. Maybe in two years, 4G [nationwide] will be possible," Muhammad Budi Setia from the ministry of communication and informatics told the Jakarta Post.
He added that the government needs to study how other countries are allocating 4G radio spectrum before Indonesia can move ahead with its own licensing programme. The main issue is which bands are likely to become popular overseas so that handset and roaming compatibility can be maximized.
A former Minister, Heru Sutadi has previously said that the best option would be simply to refarm the 1800Mhz spectrum for LTE based services.
