Welcome to the Indosat’s corporate website. The sole purpose of a public company is to create growing sustainable value. At Indosat, we are totally focused on this purpose. Please take a little time to explore our site and learn more about one of the Asia’s great telecommunication companies with very big room to grow in less penetrated market.

Our VISION is “To be the provider of choice for information and communication solutions in Indonesia”. In achieving that vision we have set our MISION as:

• Offering a full range of quality information and communication products, services and solutions
• Being at customer’s “Top-Of-Mind” for the provision of information and communications products, services and solutions
• Providing products and services which enhance the quality of life of the communities we operate in

Indosat Tbk is a leading telecommunication and information service provider in Indonesia that provides cellular of prepaid services (Mentari and IM3) and postpaid services (Matrix), 3G services using HSDPA-technology, fixed data services including Multimedia, Internet & Data Communication Services (MIDI) and fixed voice (fixed telecommunication) services including IDD services and fixed wireless services.

PT Indosat was established in 1967 as a foreign direct investment company to provide international telecommunications services in Indonesia. In 1980, the Government took over full ownership in Indosat, which since operated as a state owned company. The Company went public in 1994, by listing its shares on the Jakarta Stock Exchange (JSX: ISAT), the Surabaya Stock Exchange and its American Depositary Receipts in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: IIT).

Proud as we are of our past and present achievements, however, what really excites us is the future. We are committed to delivering long term shareholder value and will continue to invest in the future growth of our business. While, we believe that the competition in Indonesia will become a capacity war and therefore, in supporting our aggressive promotion, we will prioritize some of our capex more on capacity enhancement than coverage expansion in most dense cities. In 2009, we plan to spend capex of at least US$600 million support our business after spending more than US$4 billion in the last four years.

As a cellular focused company as well as the second largest operator in Indonesia, Indosat continues to increase our cellular business capability. We continue to be very optimistic about prospects of Indosat. While we expect competitiveness in the industry will continue to intensify, we are confident that we can continue to deliver an attractive value proposition to stakeholders.

As a corporation, we not only focus on our operating performance, but also on community development program. We conducted Indosat Wireless Innovation Contest in annual basis since 2006. Previously, this program was intended only for young generation and students, while starting this year, we open to other participants.

In addition to innovation contest, we also want to increase healthiness of our community. We provide 16 clinic mobiles, or 2 clinic mobiles in every region to handle up to 200 patients every car every month or almost 200 thousand patients every year.

We also have commercial trial for BTS energy alternative that implemented by our local engineers. These BTSs will use Solar and Wind Power and Bio Fuel to generate electric that supply BTS power.

My colleagues and I will continue to do our absolute best to show you that your trust is well-placed on Indosat, InsyaAllah. We deeply appreciate your trust and confidence and hope that you will extend your support in 2009 and beyond.
