"We're not yet targeting the lower middle segment in 2004, back then we thought they're still adequate with Telkomsel retail products such as SIM cards. However, two years ago we have begun to focus on this segment and finally launched the MyBusiness Store portal today," Arief Pradetya, Telkomsel's VP Enterprise Mobile Product Marketing said on Monday (7/23)
