It is a subsidiary of PT TELKOM, the Indonesian PSTN incumbent and a government-owned company, holding 65% of the Telkomsel equity. Telkomsel claims itself as the biggest GSM provider in Indonesia and the first company in Asia to offer GSM prepaid service and 3G services. The Singaporean incumbent operator SingTel owns 35% of Telkomsel. Telkomsel's Board of Directors consists of five members, three of whom are appointed by PT Telkom and the remaining two by SingTel.
