We sincerely appreciate your participation on this call. Into this call, I will give you the overview of our operational and financial results for the first half. And secondly, I'd like to update you on the progress of our cellular and fixed line business development, as well as other business portfolio. Ladies and gentlemen, let me start the overview by sharing the highlights of our 6 months results. The first, Telkom consolidated revenue increased 9.4% year-on-year. This is in line with Telkomsel performance with recorded 12% year-on-year revenue increase. Second, Telkomsel gained 4.5 million net additional customers during the second quarter, with total customer builds to be 125 million. The third, Telkomsel continued to expanding its network coverage and capacity by adding close to 8,000 new BTS during the first half 2013, with almost 70% of them are 3G BTS. Ladies and gentlemen, our fixed broadband users increased 42% year-on-year to 2.8 million, and the revenue increased to IDR 2.2 trillion in the first half 2013. Our mobile data users also increased. In the first half, it increased 9.9% from last year to 51.8 million users. We booked IDR 4.8 trillion revenue from mobile services, a 37.9% increase year-over-year. Total mobile, other services and fixed broadband revenues increased around 25% year-on-year to IDR 7 trillion. During second quarter, Telkomsel recorded 4.5 million customer that lifted our customer base to be 195 million. In the first half, we added 7,928 units new BTS, and almost 70% of them are 3G networks. And still end of the first half, Telkomsel owned 62,000 BTS and 20,800 of them are 3G networks. Ladies and gentlemen, consolidated revenue growth remained strong with 9.4% increase year-on-year, and Telkomsel revenue growth maintained a double-digit 12% increase year-on-year. Revenue contribution for the first half 2013 was still denominated by cellular and voice revenue, which makes 38% to our total operating revenue. Data, Internet and high speed services came in second, contributed, 37%, followed by fixed line voice that contributed 12.5%. The remaining 11.7% is contributed by interconnection, network and others. Total expense increased by 7.8% year-on-year, was lead due to the increase in operations and maintenance with -- in line with the acceleration of network deployment in our cellular subsidiary. During the first half of 2013, we built more than 1,500 BTS per month. Ladies and gentlemen, during the first half 2013, Telkomsel did maintain double-digit growth year-on-year for its revenue, EBITDA and net income. Mobile data services sales being the growth driver, with almost 38% revenue growth, that is better than the first quarter growth which has 36.5%. In this respect, by the increase of flat, flat-bearing and our free-use customers, as well as our focus on increasing customer wallet share and sustaining revenue growth by maintaining a good quality of customer. During the first 6 months, we deployed more than 1,500 new BTS per month, with almost 70% of them are 3G. We are consistently improving our 3G coverage and capacity to cope with growing demand of better assets. Telkomsel data and digital business grew 36% year-on-year for the first half 2013, contributed 18.6%, which is higher in contribution in first half last year, which is 15%. We expect Telkomsel could maintain its performance by consistently exploiting its legacy business, such as voice, SMS and network leased; strengthening its core business, such as mobile Internet and mobile broadband, and triggering digital systems, such as improving digital services and platforms. By then, we expect double-digit revenue for 2013 could be maintained. On the fixed line business, let me share our Indonesia Digital Network 2013 Program for the first half of 2013. On the Indonesia digital access, until end of June, we have 5.7 million broadband, combined, blended of fiber-to-the-home, fiber-to-the-curb and ADSL. On top of that, we have installed 64,000 Wi-Fi access point in public areas. These Wi-Fi access points are accessible for Telkom and Telkomsel customers and expected to offload Telkomsel wireless broadband traffic. Meanwhile, on the transport side, we call it Indonesia digital ring, we have completed 68,000 kilometers of maintenance and regional backbone network, out of targeted 75,000 kilometers in 2015. [indiscernible] we are consistent with our current strategy by maintaining our Flexi operation to be very efficient. And we'll allocate the spectrum to be used for broadband services for Telkomsel. We believe that with such an arrangement, we will be able to improve productivity of our Flexi assets and at the same time, improve our upfront broadband service quality to our subscriber in more efficient way. As mentioned in previous conference calls, we are looking at opportunities to do business purchase. We are committed to have more international business exposure, to gain more experiences and enhance our competencies to rely our [indiscernible]. In Hong Kong, with MVNO scheme, at end of June this year, we have already have around 49,000 customers with ARPU of USD 60. Meanwhile, in Timor Leste, we have more than 51,000 customers with ARPU of USD 4.30. We are now looking on initiating our MVNO operation in Malaysia. We expect by the third quarter this year to [indiscernible] these assets. Other than that, we also look forward to initiating MVNO operations in Macau and Taiwan, countries where we have significant numbers of Indonesian migrant workers. We expect to be able to make it by next year. In line with our goal to becoming leading TIMES player in the region, in the media business, Telkom is continuously enhancing the portfolio, not only organically but also nonorganically, by executing some corporate actions. As most of us are already aware, Metra-Net Telkom signed strategic partners. The partnership is focused on providing more value to our subscribers and create a strengthened alliance empowering TelkomVision to advance into this increasingly competitive media market. With the partnership, TelkomVision will become the main source of good quality content for overall TIMES media that enable us to further develop our media business, including online TV service and plan more for less DT [ph] service, what we call UCDT [ph]. This action are in line with our growth strategy where Telkom wants to further strengthen media, through partnership strategy. Our business. Currently, we are still in the process of initiating corporate action to unlock the value of our business. From our deep analysis of our business circuit in Indonesia and our current situation, the most preferable option for Telkom to unlock our business is by inviting strategic partners that will enhance our business capability and competitiveness. And after that, unlocking the value of our enhanced tower business make success for this company. However, we're still considering in preparing IPOs as another option. We believe this corporate action will enable us to unlock the value of our variable tower assets in the right time with the best revenue for Telkom. As part of our strategy to optimize our growth opportunities, we are combining both organic and nonorganic activities. We design our nonorganic activities into 2 parts, internal nonorganic activities and external nonorganic activities. We call them as acquisitions and alliances, A&A. In these A&A activities, Telkom will maintain the value discipline, where we'll also provide 3 possible acquisitions hereby calculating the value enhancement opportunities for all our Telkom group business portfolio. By doing so, we will ensure that our A&A activities will create significant value with current Telkom Group business. Ladies and gentlemen, let me now briefly reiterate guidance for 2013 as spread out. For 2013, we expect Telkomsel revenue could grow in line or better than market growth. Meanwhile, for fixed line business, positive revenue growth recorded in the first half 2013 would be maintained. With that, we expect our consolidated revenue growth between 8% to 9% year-on-year. For EBITDA margin, it will be stable or slightly decline for Telkom consolidated and Telkomsel. By forming partnership and looking opportunities to pay-as-you-grow and revenue-sharing scheme, we expect CapEx spending for 2013 to be 20% to 25% of our revenue. That's ending my remarks. Thank you.
