Mr. Ismail, Director General of Postal and Information Equipment and Resources at the Indonesian Ministry of Information and Communications , stated that SATRIA-1's service will be free and complement existing telecommunications infrastructure by providing direct connections to end-user Internet devices without the need for base transceiver stations (BTS).
