PT Indosat Tbk, trading as Indosat Ooredoo Hutchison, abbreviated as IOH, is an Indonesian telecommunications provider which is owned by Ooredoo Hutchison Asia, a joint venture between Ooredoo and Hutchison Asia Telecom Group (a part of CK Hutchison Holdings) since 2022.{{Cite web|title = Indosat Indonesia Investments|url = http://www.indonesia-investments.com/business/indonesian-companies/indosat/item200|website = www.indonesia-investments.com|access-date = 2016-02-02|publisher = Indonesia Investments}} The company offers wireless services for mobile phones and, to a lesser extent, broadband internet lines for homes. Indosat operates its wireless services under two brands: IM3 and Three (3). These brands differ by their payment model (pre-paid vs. post-paid) as well as pricing. Indosat also provides other services such as IDD, fixed telecommunications, and multimedia.{{Cite web|title = Conexus|url = http://www.conexusmobile.com/alliance-sub-indonesia.html|website = www.conexusmobile.com|access-date = 2016-02-02|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140329023240/http://www.conexusmobile.com/alliance-sub-indonesia.html|archive-date = 2014-03-29|url-status = dead}}

In February 2013, Qtel, a majority stakeholder in Indosat, rebranded itself as Ooredoo. This was followed by a renaming of all their subsidiaries across multiple countries.{{Cite web|title = Qtel rebrands as Ooredoo - - ITP.net|url = http://www.itp.net/592393-qtel-rebrands-as-ooredoo#.UYVVvYJQ0Vk|website = ITP.net|access-date = 2016-02-02}} As such, Indosat was renamed Indosat Ooredoo on November 19, 2015.{{Cite web|title = Indosat Ganti Nama jadi Indosat Ooredoo|url = http://www.cnnindonesia.com/teknologi/20151119102759-213-92642/indosat-ganti-nama-jadi-indosat-ooredoo/|website = CNN Indonesia|access-date = 2016-02-02}}

{{As of|2018|pre=Q4}}, Indosat had 58 million subscribers.{{Cite web|title = Indosat suffers from 4G network underfunding|date=22 March 2019 |url=https://www.mobileworldlive.com/asia/asia-news/indosat-suffers-from-4g-network-underfunding/}} This is a sharp decrease from 2017, when the number was reported as 110 million.

History

=1967=

Indosat was established as the first foreign investment company in Indonesia that provides international telecommunication services using an international satellite. It was owned by American conglomerate company ITT (through its subsidiary American Cable and Radio Corporation) until 1980.

Indosat expanded into becoming the first international company that was acquired and 100% owned by the Indonesian Government.

=1994–2003=

Indosat acquired Satelindo and SLI through share majority. They also established PT Indosat Multimedia Mobile (IM3) to provide and operate a nationwide GPRS network, a first for the country. In 2003, Indosat merged with its 3 subsidiaries—Satelindo, IM3, and Bimagraha—and established itself as a mobile network operator.

=2003–2009=

File:Indosat Logo.svg

Indosat was granted a 3G network license and introduced a 3.5G service in Jakarta and Surabaya. In 2009, Qtel bought 24.19% of series B shares from the public and became Indosat's majority shareholder with a 65% ownership. They were granted the use of additional 3G frequencies later that same year. Indosat also won the WiMAX bid from the government during this period.

=2012–2020=

File:Indosat Ooredoo logo.svg

In 2014, Indosat launched and commercialized a 4G service at 900 MHz, with a download speed of up to 42 Mbit/s. The service was first rolled out in the major cities, with planned expansions to rural areas. In November 2015, Indosat rebranded itself as Indosat Ooredoo. In 2016, Indosat teamed up with Swedish-based music streaming service Spotify to become the first operator to offer Spotify music services in Indonesia.{{Cite web|title=Spotify partners Indosat with 'affordable' Indonesian service|url=https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Spotify-partners-Indosat-with-affordable-Indonesian-service|access-date=2020-10-22|website=Nikkei Asia|language=en-GB}}
