History
Telkom is one of the world's oldest telecommunication companies. The company traditionally traces its roots to an establishment of the first first electromagnetic telegraph service in Indonesia on October 23, 1856 by the Dutch Colonial Government connecting Batavia (Jakarta) and Buitenzorg (Bogor). In 1884, the Dutch Colonial Government founded a private company to provide postal and domestic telegraph services and, later on, international telegraph services.
