After more than two months (nov 2008), finally the new BRTI committee members from public representative were announced. The selection process acctually started on October 2008, but only few experts were interested. Then, the registration was extended up to Nov 11th 2008 where the participants reached 88 people. This long waited information finally received by telecommunication stake holder in Indonesia. The minister of communication and information technology announced the 5 elected public representative for BRTI committee members. They are: Danrivanto Budhyanto, Heru Sutadi, Iwan Krisnadi, Nonot Harsono, and Ridwan Effendi. (more…)

As written in The interest to become BRTI Committee members is very low, Department of Communication and Information Technology has been invited experts to joint the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulatory Body members. On the first stage, only few people are interested. When the admission extended on Nov 11th 2008, 88 participants are registered.

More than two months after that, no information has been announced .  People are waiting for the selection result. Who are the committee members now? What happen with the selection? Public are waiting for the information. If you visit www.brti.or.id, the committees member are still the same.

For your information, the BRTI committee’s term of service has ended in October last year.  So, according to the rule, BRTI currently has no committee’s members except the chairman (Mr. Basuki Yusuf Iskandar) and the government  representative (Prof Alkaff). Hence, we can see no important decision has been made during last three months.

The  announcement of new BRTI committees member will help many stake holder in Indonesian telecommunication. We hope it will be announced soon.
