Jakarta (ANTARA News) - PT XL Axiata Tbk (XL) will coordinate with the Communication and Information Ministry and the Indonesian Telecommunication Regulation Body (BRTI) about legal certainty of telecommunications business in Indonesia, XL official said.

The coordination is needed following the court`s verdict on former IM2 president director Indar Atmanto, who was sentenced to four years in jail and also fined him Rp200 million or a three months more in jail for failing to pay the fine, XL Vice President of Corporate Communication, Turina Farouk said here on Friday.

The court`s verdict on IM2 and Indar Atmanto was given based on charges of misusing of 3G/High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) owned by PT Indosat Tbk as the main company and IM2 as its subsidiary through a cooperation contract.

"XL will coordinate with the Communication and Information Ministry, and BRTI to obtain legal certainty regarding cooperation of telecommunications network usage by the telecommunications carrier," she said.

Farouk said that XL felt concerned about the verdict, because it relates to the telecommunications industry.

XL currently is trying to merger with PT Axis Telekom Indonesia after officially sent the frequency unification proposal letter to the ministry last month.

"Currently the merging process is still going on," she said.

Previously, the Corruption Court presided over by chief judge Antonius Widijantono sentenced Indar Atmanto to four years in jail and also fined him Rp200 million for misusing the 3G/HSDPA broadband network service owned by PT Indosat Tbk.
