There are three reception Pradnanda explained that the Universal Service Obligation , the delivery costs of telecommunications and frequency .

" This law mandates the Government to further regulated by PP. 7/2009 that apply to the Ministry of Communications and Telecommunications . All three charges are non-tax revenues , but do not explicitly set a nominal figure . It turns out that the nominal rate is set in the appendix . This does not indicate the legal uncertainty because the law is not regulated , but in PP , and even then only through the attachment , " he said . ( Lulu Anjarsari / mh )
