125 millions why you should be interested in Indonesia

With an estimated 125 million internet users by 2015, its not surprising that the FT was reporting that Jakarta is ripe for a boom in tech start-ups. And that was before Softbank announced that together with Sequoia Capital they would be taking a $100m bet on  Indonesian online marketplace Tokopedia.

 

In the country that is home to the world’s heaviest users of Twitter, Smartphone ownership is booming, but it's not all rosy with Jakarta having infamously bad traffic, slow internet speeds, under-developed electronic payment systems amongst its myriad of problems.

Without doubt Indonesia is a land of opportunity for the telecom industry, so where do you fit in?

At this years Total Telecom Festival we bring together the two of the biggest names in Indonesia telecoms, with Alex J. Sinaga, Chief Executive Officer, Telkomsel speaking about redefining the telco-OTT relationship, transformation from telco to digital company, whilst later in the day Muhammad Awaluddin, Chief of Marketing for Enterprise Business at Telkom Indonesia will speak about building new business and recognising new role of the telco in developing society and community.

Why not come along, it's a great chance to meet the teams from Telekom Indonesia and Telkomsel and discover what the opportunity is for you.

Top 10 #Telecom Downloads of 2011

We all love rankings, don't we, so it seemed a good idea to end 2011 with another, this time the Top Telecom Downloads of 2011.

Downloads with Total Telecom mean white papers and other special reports and documents that we've hosted for you to download from our website, providing a wealth of valuable information, so there are bound to be some here that you would benefit from. The list below are the Top 10 most popular downloads of 2011:

1. Global 100 Operators 2011 (annual report from Total Telecom)
2. Global 100 Operators 2010 (annual report from Total Telecom)
3. Beyond MPLS: Enabling Cloud-Ready Networks (White Paper from Ipanema Technologies)
4. Carrier Ethernet Basics (White Paper from EXFO)
5. Telecoms Reinvention: Death Of The Traditional Telco (White Paper from ATG)

9. Next-Gen PON: Sardana merges metro & access networks (Customer Magazine from Tellabs)
10. Best Practice to Stay Ahead of Communication Industry Standards (White Paper from Progress Software)

This list has been compiled based on the data captured by our Nielsen NetRatings online measurement tool, a fantastic analytical tool, that not only tells us who read what, but is also audited by the BPA, meaning you don't have to take our word for it (we're the only website in the telco sector to do this).

So does the list throw up any surprises? Probably not. Any cheating? No, not unless you count the omission of our media pack from the list - wow a lot of people like reading what we're planning!
