Stars
Mobile data (Telkomsel 4G/5G)
Market leader with roughly 60%+ share and about 160 million subscribers in Indonesia, Telkomsel sits squarely in the BCG Stars quadrant as demand for mobile data continues to climb. Usage per user keeps rising while ARPU has stabilized as smarter bundled offers temper churn and boost revenue quality. The business requires heavy spectrum and site capex—ongoing 4G/5G investments squeeze cash but scale preserves EBITDA margins. Keep feeding it: this segment is the companys engine for near-term growth.
Fiber broadband (IndiHome/FMC)
IndiHome, Telkom’s fiber broadband, serves about 8.7 million homes in 2024 and sits in the BCG Stars quadrant with high household share; fixed-mobile convergence bundles have accelerated uptake. Streaming, gaming and WFH demand keep volumes and ARPU resilient. Rollouts and CPE subsidies compress cashflow but churn remains manageable. Strategy: hold the line, expand selectively and upsell speed tiers.
Data centers (NeutraDC) & cloud
Hyperscalers and Indonesian enterprises are ramping workloads, with global hyperscaler capex topping roughly $120bn in 2023–24, driving stronger demand for NeutraDC. Telkom’s nationwide footprint and fiber-rich network adjacency provide durable moats for high-density cloud and edge workloads. Current operations are capex-heavy but utilization is improving toward enterprise-scale levels; keep building where demand is pre-committed to convert scale into predictable cash flow.
Enterprise connectivity & managed services
Enterprise connectivity & managed services is a Star: Telkom leads MPLS/SD-WAN, Ethernet and DIA for large accounts, with enterprise services driving strong growth as digital transformation budgets expanded in 2024.
Cross-sell of security, cloud migration and observability increases customer stickiness; investing in solution architects and strict SLAs secures renewals and upsell paths.
- focus: MPLS/SD‑WAN, Ethernet, DIA
- opportunity: rising 2024 digital transformation spend
- growth levers: security, cloud migration, observability
- execution: hire solution architects, enforce SLAs
Subsea & national fiber backbone
Subsea and national fiber backbone are strategic, hard-to-replicate assets driving rising wholesale demand; as traffic explodes in 2024 capacity sales and enterprise peering revenues scale, and continual upgrades deliver proven payback while preserving high margins. Focus on optimizing routes and latency keeps premium pricing and stickiness for carriers and hyperscalers.
- Strategic: long lead-time, high barrier
- Demand: wholesale growth in 2024
- Economics: upgrade CAPEX → proven payback
- Edge: route/latency optimization = premium
Mobile, broadband, datacenter, enterprise & subsea drive margins: 160M subs, 8.7M homes, $120bn
Telkom’s Stars (Telkomsel, IndiHome, NeutraDC, Enterprise, Subsea) drive growth: Telkomsel ~160M subs and 60%+ share; IndiHome ~8.7M homes; hyperscaler capex ~$120bn (2023–24) boosts NeutraDC; enterprise services and subsea backbone convert scale into durable margins despite heavy CAPEX.
| Business | 2024 KPI | Market | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Telkomsel | ~160M subs | ~60%+ | High capex |
| IndiHome | ~8.7M homes | High HH share | Upsell focus |
| NeutraDC | Utilization↑ | Hyperscaler demand | $120bn capex |

Cash Cows
Legacy mobile voice & SMS
Legacy mobile voice & SMS remain a cash cow for Telkom Indonesia, declining only low-single-digits annually while still monetizing Telkomsel’s ~168 million subs (2023). Minimal promo spend and bundling preserve margin, freeing profits to fund 5G capex and digital bets. Maintain price integrity; avoid volume-driven churn to protect cashflow.
Urban fixed broadband base
Urban fixed broadband is a Telkom Indonesia cash cow: market leader with over 50% market share and millions of subscribers in mature neighborhoods where penetration is high and acquisition costs are low. Predictable ARPU and low churn yield strong payback and steady cash flow. Focus on retention, speed upgrades, and reducing cost-to-serve to milk efficiently and avoid overbuilding.
Wholesale bandwidth/IP transit
Wholesale bandwidth/IP transit is a cash cow for Telkom Indonesia, leveraging backbone scale to secure a dominant share amid Indonesia's ~204 million internet users (2024); growth is low but volumes and margins remain reliable, with sticky, low-sales-cost contracts. Focus on maintaining quality, automating provisioning and banking the cash.
Enterprise leased lines & co-location
Enterprise leased lines and co-location are stable, contracted-revenue cash cows for Telkom Indonesia, driven by long-term SLAs and enterprise relationships that limit promotional spend and yield modest year-on-year growth.
Renewals are relationship-led; upselling redundancy and premium uptime SLAs increases ARPU while keeping churn low, supporting a high contribution margin to fixedB2B earnings.
Maintain high utilization and lean operations to protect margins and cash flow; focus capex on resilience rather than volume-driven expansion.
- contracted revenues
- modest growth
- high contribution
- relationship renewals
- upsell redundancy & SLA
- high utilization
- lean ops
Tower/infra leasing (via group)
Tower/infra leasing via group generates steady recurring rental income with long tenors and muted growth, yet delivers robust EBITDA margins; capital expenditure is largely sunk and ongoing maintenance is predictable. Excess cashflow is deployed to fund growth businesses (Stars) and accelerate debt retirement, supporting Telkom Indonesia’s balance-sheet resilience.
- Recurring rentals, long tenors
- Muted growth, high margins
- Sunk capex, predictable maintenance
- Cash used for Stars and debt paydown
High-margin legacy cash flow funds 5G capex, digital bets and debt paydown
Legacy voice/SMS (Telkomsel ~168m subs, 2023), urban fixed broadband (>50% market share, 2024), wholesale/IP (Indonesia ~204m internet users, 2024) and tower rentals deliver predictable, high-margin contracted cash flow; low growth but strong free cash enables 5G capex, digital bets and debt paydown.
| Cash cow | Metric | Profile |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile voice/SMS | ~168m subs (2023) | High margin, declining low-SD |
| Fixed broadband | >50% market share (2024) | Stable ARPU, low churn |
| Wholesale/IP | ~204m users (2024) | Sticky contracts |
| Towers | Long tenors | Recurring rental cash |

Dogs
Payphones & public telephony
Payphones & public telephony in Telkom Indonesia are BCG dogs: usage fell to near-zero by 2024 while maintenance costs persist, creating a cash trap with no strategic upside. Decommission and salvage hardware, redeploy sites for mobile small-cell or tower infrastructure to monetize real estate. Do not allocate further capex or opex — stop spending rupiah here.
Legacy copper PSTN voice
Legacy copper PSTN voice sits in Telkom Indonesia’s Dogs quadrant as 2024 shows rapid decline driven by fiber and mobile substitution; fixed voice traffic has collapsed industry-wide and customer migration accelerates. Repairs and upkeep are increasingly uneconomic, consuming disproportionate OPEX and technician hours. Telkom should accelerate migration of remaining copper lines to fiber or wireless substitutes and sunset services aggressively to harvest residual asset value while reallocating capex to broadband and mobile growth.
Old enterprise legacy platforms
Obsolete hardware and software stacks serving niche enterprise customers now classify as Dogs in Telkom Indonesia’s BCG matrix, generating shrinking market share and limited growth prospects.
Support and maintenance costs for these platforms have eroded margins and often exceed the revenue they produce, prompting detailed total cost of ownership reviews in 2024.
Telkom is issuing migration paths and end-of-life timelines for affected systems, prioritizing customer migration within 2–3 years to cloud-native or modern stacks.
Recommended actions are divestment of noncore legacy units or consolidation into Telkom’s strategic platforms to reallocate capex and improve ROI.
Standalone SMS/VAS portals
Standalone SMS/VAS portals are Dogs: OTT messaging (WhatsApp 2.6 billion users in 2024) has decimated consumer engagement, usage and ad-reach, leaving minimal interaction and flat‑to‑declining revenues while regulatory and compliance costs remain material.
- Bundle remaining assets into enterprise A2P messaging only
- Close consumer SMS/VAS channels if not profitable
- Reallocate capex to CPaaS/B2B platforms
Telex/fax-era services
Telex/fax-era services are BCG Dogs for Telkom Indonesia: token volumes collapsed and operational throughput is effectively zero in 2024, regulatory overhead keeps legacy SLAs and tariffs costly, and the segment shows no growth, tying up networks and staff in outdated ops.
- Exit: retire lines, monetize spectrum/ducts
- Last-mile alternatives: VoIP, secure e‑fax over broadband, mobile data
- Benefit: free tech and people for B2B cloud, 5G, digital services
Legacy telephony dying: retire payphones, sunset PSTN, shift SMS to CPaaS
Payphones and public telephony usage fell to near-zero by 2024 and are cash traps; legacy copper PSTN shows industry-wide collapse with customer migration needing 2–3 year sunsetting; standalone SMS/VAS is decimated by OTT (WhatsApp 2.6 billion users in 2024) and should be reallocated to CPaaS; telex/fax volumes are effectively zero and must be retired.
| Asset | 2024 metric | Recommended action |
|---|---|---|
| Payphones | usage near-zero | decommission/salvage |
| PSTN copper | rapid decline | migrate/sunset (2–3 yrs) |
| SMS/VAS | OTT 2.6B users | shift to A2P/CPaaS |
| Telex/fax | throughput ≈0 | retire/monetize assets |
Question Marks
5G monetization (B2B/B2G)
Telkom Group's 5G rollout via Telkomsel (about 169 million subscribers as of 2023) is in progress, but commercial B2B/B2G revenue models remain nascent; pilots and enterprise trials dominate early monetization. Private networks, network slicing, and low-latency industrial use cases show the strongest demand signals for verticals such as manufacturing and logistics. Scaling requires tailored vertical solutions and ecosystem partners to deliver end-to-end services. Capital allocation should be disciplined, prioritizing segments and pilots with clear ROI metrics and contract-backed revenue.
IoT platforms & devices
IoT platforms & devices sit as Question Marks for Telkom: smart meters, logistics, and agri represent a large, fragmented TAM—global IoT market exceeded US$500 billion in 2024—yet buyer fragmentation keeps ARPU low unless platform value is clear.
To lift ARPU Telkom must bundle connectivity with analytics, service-level agreements and vertical-specific apps; prioritize scale or prune fast by vertical based on adoption and margin metrics.
Digital media/ads & content
Indonesia has 204.7 million internet users (DataReportal, Jan 2024) and a digital ad market of about US$3.97bn in 2024 (Statista), so eyeballs exist but Telkom’s media/ads business still lags OTT giants on monetization. Leveraging Telkom’s network-level data and identity assets could close gaps, but success needs sharper product-market fit and strategic content/tech partnerships. If unit economics (CAC/LTV) validate scalable returns, double down; otherwise exit or divest.
Cybersecurity managed services
Cybersecurity managed services sit as a Question Mark for Telkom Indonesia: demand is exploding and buyers prefer trusted local operators, but scaling requires certified talent, 24/7 SOC depth and proven outcomes; cross-selling into Telkom’s enterprise base can quickly gain share if capabilities are built or acquired fast.
- Focus: rapid build or buy
- Must: certifications, SOC 24/7
- Go-to-market: cross-sell enterprises
- Measure: outcome-driven pilots
Edge computing & CDN
Traffic growth in Indonesia (about 210 million internet users in 2024) favors local edge deployment, but the CDN/edge market is crowded; Telkom’s nationwide backbone and Telkomsel reach (~168 million subs) give a clear edge if productized into node-based services
- Capex requirement: justify nodes with anchor customers
- Pilot: media and gaming to validate latency gains
- Scale: roll-out tied to traffic density and revenue share deals
Prioritize vertical pilots, analytics/SLA bundles and strict CAC:LTV gating for scale
Question Marks: 5G, IoT, cybersecurity, CDN/edge and media/ads show strong demand but unclear profitability—Telkomsel reach (~169m subs 2023), Indonesia internet users 204.7m (Jan 2024) and global IoT >US$500bn (2024) imply scale opportunity; prioritize vertical pilots, bundle analytics/SLA, and strict CAC:LTV gating for scale.
| Segment | Key metric | 2024 figure |
|---|---|---|
| 5G/Private Networks | Anchor contracts | — |
| IoT | Global TAM | US$500bn+ |
