It seems one of the priorities in Sumatra is getting the cellular system
back up and running. One of the tasks the Singapore Armed Forces assisted
with was the reactivation of GSM service in Meulaboh:

When you look at pictures of Meulaboh, about all that's left seems to be two
large communications towers, with what looks like microwave and cellular
antennas.

Typical Indonesian scam, sorry to say.

Surely a commercial venture like this should be the responsibility of the
Indonesian telephone companies?

I don't know one way or another, but I have heard that for many parts of
Indonesia, the only communication is from wireless towers (especially
rural areas). I've never been there, so I don't know.

I doubt the Singapore military is involved in a scam. What they said this
that they assisted the technicians from Telekomsel (sp?) in moving equipment
to restore GSM service. They did not say that they were setting up or
restoring GSM service.
