History

Indosat has long history of ownership and change of purpose and goals from its establishment on 10 November 1967.[2][5] After being bought by Indonesian government from foreign investment company, the company began as a commercial international telecommunications service provider (IDD) in September 1969.[5] The company connected to Intelsat (International Telecommunications Satellite Organization), an earth station in Indonesia, to access Intelsat's Indian Ocean Region satellites until 1989.[5]

The company's shares were registered on the Indonesia Stock Exchange on 19 October 1994 (code: ISAT).[2] Its form of American Depositary Shares are registered at New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:IIT).[3]

Between 1999 and 2000 the company went from Indonesia’s international telecommunications provider to an integrated telecommunications network and service provider.[5] In 2001 the company signed an agreement with Telkom to eliminate its cross-shareholdings in several operating subsidiaries; among others Satelindo, Telkomsel, and Lintasarta.[5]

In 2006 Indosat became a member of Connexus Mobile Alliance to enhance its international roaming and corporate mobile services for voice, video and data roaming.[3][6] The alliance has a combined customer base of about 350 million mobile subscribers via its GSM/GPRS, W-CDMA networks and/or HSDPA networks.[6]

As of 30 April 2013 the CEO is Alexander Rusli. The board of directors consists of Rusli, Fadzri Santosa, Stefan Carlsson, Hans C. Moritz, and Erik Meijer.[7]
