                                  PRESS RELEASE
                             No.T el.21/PR110/UHI/03

                    THE GOVERNMENT AGREED TO POSTPONE TARIFF
                   ADJUSTMENT FOR DOMESTIC FIXED LINE SERVICE
                                FOR THE YEAR 2003



JAKARTA, 16 JANUARY, 2003, It is hereby announced that the Minister of
Communication through letter Number.PR.304/1/1-PHB2003, dated January 16th,
2003, requested TELKOM as a Domestic Fixed Line Service Operator to postpone the
implementation of tariff adjustment for Domestic Fixed Line Service.

The postponement of the tariff adjustment compel TELKOM to review its capital
expenditure program and cancel the Company's fixed-wireline development for 1.2
million telephone lines through the T-21 development program. Meanwhile, TELKOM
continues the development of 1.6 million lines of fixed wireless and backbone.

Due to the delay of the tariff rebalancing program, TELKOM will also review
interconnection agreements with other telecommunication operators.
