After selling 2,500 towers in 2012, Indonesian operator Indosat is studying options for its remaining 7,500 sites, its CEO has said.
In an interview with TelecomFinance, Alexander Rusli did not specifically refer to a tower sale but noted that “there are plans to further unlock their value”.
The second-largest mobile operator is facing stiff competition in the country’s crowded market, particularly since two of its rivals, XL Axiata and Axis, agreed to merge their operations late last year.
Rusli also said Indosat, which has around US$500m of debt maturing this year, is looking at any opportunity to restructure it optimally.
The full interview is available in TelecomFinance 219/January, published on 23 January.
