I've worked with 2 Indonesian companies and both of which ended up owing us £000's.
They're not trustworthy...

Hemedans, 01 Nov 2024How is it stupid? So it's fine for those companies to ... moreDo you understand economics in any way? The benefit your country gets from the presence of these companies is increased consimer choice, which makes the phone market more competitive and helps to lower prices. Currently, Indonesia's selection in phone brands is rather limited, which has made the phone market rather expensive. By having that law that requires 40% of budget to go to Indonesia, you've made almost everyone leave because it's just too expensive to sell in Indonesia.

rizki1, 01 Nov 2024What do you mean? More choices are better, where did I say no?I already check phone brand that were sold in Indonesia
And I see Nothing, OnePlus, Sony, ZTE, Meizu, HTC is NOT sold in Indonesia
This is the price of having crazy law.
In the end, Indonesian have less choice, or must pay crazy money to their corupt govt

Motorola, Sony, OnePlus etc. just don't have enough user base in Indonesia to justify foreign investment for obeying the regulations. Hence, they left.

Why we give money to foreigner but we got nothing." He will got plenty of vote. So, this is not about economic. It's about voting number.

potato4k, 01 Nov 2024Moto already exited your country. OnePlus cancelled their entry. many have already left indeed, but they are getting more competitive in terms of specs as we see here in GSMArena so that's why they can try again..
