YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Restoring mobile value in a saturated connectivity market
- Indonesia had about 356 million mobile connections in early 2025—around 125% of its population—while intense price competition continues to constrain ARPU.
- Against this backdrop, YCP combines market sizing, segment-led propositions and pricing strategy to uncover profitable growth pools without weakening retention.
Extending reliable broadband beyond the largest urban hubs
- Indonesia counted roughly 212 million internet users in 2025, yet fixed-broadband penetration remains below 6 subscriptions per 100 people, exposing access gaps.
- YCP helps providers prioritize high-potential locations, refine rollout economics and develop partnerships that improve coverage quality and commercial viability.
Turning scarce spectrum into an investable 5G pathway
- 5G deployment remains concentrated in selected urban areas, as limited mid-band spectrum and rising data demand force difficult choices on network investment.
- YCP supports spectrum and network strategy through demand forecasting, asset-use assessments and business cases that align 5G investment with realistic returns.
Building trust as data-protection rules take full effect
- Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection Law became fully effective in October 2024, raising expectations for consent management, security controls and breach readiness.
- YCP translates regulatory requirements into practical operating models, helping telecom players strengthen governance, manage risk and sustain customer confidence.
