    Nepal telcos told to adopt 10-second billing next week

    Nepal’s mobile operators will need to implement 10-second billing from next week and per-second billing from October under a new regulatory directive.

    The Nepal Telecommunications Authority (NTA) has instructed operators to reduce billing durations for domestic calls from the current 20 seconds to 10 seconds from April 14.

    The reduction to per-second billing will subsequently need to be implemented from October 18 to coincide with the Nepali new year.

    The minimum billing unit for landline calls has meanwhile been fixed at 60 seconds. International calls will be reduced to 30 second billing from the April date and to 10 seconds from October.

    According to the report, the NTA implemented the reductions following consultations with the industry, but the regulator still plans to conduct checks to make sure the nation’s six operators follow the directive.

    The directive will need to be implemented by Nepal Telecom, Ncell, UTL, Smart Telecom, Nepal Satellite Telecom and STM Telecom.

    Telkom Books Rp102tn in Revenues

    State telecom company PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia Tbk. (IDX: TLKM)—also known as Telkom—booked Rp102.47 trillion in revenues last year. The figure represents a 14.24-percent annual growth from 2014’s Rp89.70 trillion.

    “Telkom’s revenue growth to Rp102.47 trillion was mainly supported by a surge of income in the data, internet and IT services business lines,” Telkom President director Alex J Sinaga said in a press release in Jakarta, Monday, March 7

    Telkom’s 2015 revenue increase led to a net profit growth of 7.0 percent to Rp15.49 trillion.

    According to Alex, data, internet and IT segments contributed Rp32.69 trillion to the company’s revenue. This is a 37.5 percent increase from the year before.

    Telkom also noted an increase in the number of fixed broadband customers last year to 3.98 million subscribers, a 17.2 percent annual increase. This increase is attributable to the company’s newest service, IndiHome, which in 2015 pooled in more than a million new customers.

    In the cellular business, Telkom remains as the country’s market leader with 152.64 million subscribers

    The company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in 2015 amounted to Rp51.42 trillion, a 12.6-percent year-on-year growth.

    Meanwhile, the company recorded an operating cost increase of 15.8 percent to Rp70.05 trillion. The rise in expense is mostly due to the company’s aggressive activities in building and modernizing its infrastructure, especially broadband facilities.
