IndosatM2 Campaigning Green IT

PT Indosat Mega Media (IndosatM2), the provider internet services and multimedia services in Indonesia, has launched the "Let's Go Green" program with its first initiative of the e-billing service. With e-billing, customer accounts will be sent via e-mail to the customer's designated e-mail address, without any paper usage.

According to Indar Atmanto, President Director IndosatM2, the transition of going towards delivering billing statements from conventional to e-billing via email will result in paper efficiency which in turn use less trees. Usually within one month the printing of billing statements requires at least 400 reams per month. Therefore, customers have the potential to reduce paper comsumption of 400 reams per month.

"Through e-billing, we try and invite the community to be more thoughtful in protecting their own environment," said Atmanto. He adds, with the use of the internet which is estimated to reach 27 million users in 2008 in Indonesia, hopefully people can take many advantage of this e-billing service.

On the other hand, e-billing service will be a standard service for 3.5G Broadband internet and Internet Dial-up which will commence in this April 2008 for new customers and in July 2008 for existing customers.
