Indonesian telco PT Indotsat president Harry Sasongko said that they will build a new 1300km subsea system called SKKL to be installed in cooperation with NEC. It will have four landing points on the islands of Tanjung Pakis (Karawang, West Java), Sungai Kakap (Pontianak, West Kalimantan), Tanjung Bemban (Batam), and Changi (Singapore).
For Island Nations this is equivalent to a major inter-national fiber build and given the size (population and geography) of the countries involved this is a big step. It is yet another example of how many Nations of the world have recognized the need for fiber to support broadband and the applications that ride above it and have a plan in motion to do something about it.
The five years following the completion of these subsea and National fiber systems will be quite an amazing time to watch IP applications be born, evolve and mature. Massive intellectual wealth will be created along with untold financial gains for those that invest TODAY in the proper fiber infrastructure to bring it all about.
