Cellular Phone Forum / General / GSM / January 2005Tsunami relief and GSM
It seems one of the priorities in Sumatra is getting the cellular system back up and running. One of the tasks the Singapore Armed Forces assisted with was the reactivation of GSM service in Meulaboh: http://www.mindef.gov.sg/display.asp?number=2314 When you look at pictures of Meulaboh, about all that's left seems to be two large communications towers, with what looks like microwave and cellular antennas. http://www.navy.mil/view_single.asp?id=20461  SignatureDonald Newcomb DRNewcomb (at) attglobal (dot) net > It seems one of the priorities in Sumatra is getting the cellular system > back up and running.

I don't know one way or another, but I have heard that for many parts of Indonesia, the only communication is from wireless towers (especially rural areas). I've never been there, so I don't know. > Typical Indonesian scam, sorry to say. > > Surely a commercial venture like this should be the responsibility of the > Indonesian telephone companies? I doubt the Singapore military is involved in a scam. What they said this that they assisted the technicians from Telekomsel (sp?) in moving equipment to restore GSM service. They did not say that they were setting up or restoring GSM service. SignatureDonald Newcomb DRNewcomb (at) attglobal (dot) net |
