"Before we have a working meeting with the House of Representatives (DPR), the leaders of RIM met us in the Kominfo office and promised they will follow the regulations in force in Indonesia," the minister said during a working meeting with the DPR here on Monday.
Tiffatul said that in the meeting with the RIM leaders, they agreed to meet the Indonesian regulations and to close their porn contents in Indonesia.
The Indonesian government gave them five days until January 21, 2011.
He said that in the meeting RIM also agreed to meet the requirements set by the government that they should establish a server and after sales services in Indonesia.
"RIM agreed to build an aggregate network for the Asian region in Indonesia. This will have impact on the lowering of their rates in Indonesia because RIM is aware of the fact that its customers in Indonesia are the biggest ones in Asia," the minister said.
He said that during the meeting the RIM leaders informed they had opened 40 counters in Indonesia to meet the need for after sales services.
"This is their claim and we still need to check it in the field," Tiffatul said.
On the occasion, the minister said that so far RIM had not yet paid taxes for its operations in Indonesia.
