If you want to push data usage, what would you do? Eliminate the barriers of entry: modem price, price of BlackBerry handset, notebook ownership, and price for the subscription.
XL is promoting some new bundles - this week is Jakarta's Computer Expo time:
- Modem HSPA (yes, they market it as HSPA, not HSDPA) bundling:
- Rp 1.5mil (US $170) with an option for 0% 12-month installment
- including 3-month free data subscription (250 MB quota), worth Rp 300k
- 12-month contract
- BlackBerry 0% 12-month installment (priced quite competitively), with 3-month free subscription
- Notebook bundling, Rp 5mil and you get:
- Quantel 10.2" notebook: link
- Free modem
- Free 3-month data subscription (1 GB quota), worth ~Rp 750k
- 12-month contract
- XL introduced a small data subscription package (expensive if you calculate the per MB charges), Rp 10k for 10 MB and Rp 25k for 25 MB.

Indosat launched prepaid broadband wireless service (HSDPA).
Well, not the first technically, because Telkomsel has already lauched 3G/HSDPA service for its Simpati Prepaid. But they are different, Indosat charges the service by volume, while Telkomsel by minute.
The website is not too informative, unfortunately.... http://www.indosatm2.com/index.php/services/indosatnet/prepaid3g. Probably if I download the PDF, I'll understand more. But do I have to download a PDF file and read it through? Why don't put the necessary information in the website.
Probably I'd better call the customer service.... (and put on hold for a couple of hours while they're searching for the correct person to explain the service...)
