The Constitutional Court's ruling requiring mobile operators to keep customers' unused data usable after their plans expire is expected to reshape product offerings, but not necessarily upend their business models.The ruling, issued on July 23, requires operators to give consumers a choice of plans, including rollover packages, conventional non-rollover plans and other options that protect customers' remaining data. Operators may comply by allowing data rollover or quota accumulation, extending validity periods, offering benefit transfers, providing compensation or refunds, or adopting other proportional forms of consumer protection.
Wahyudi Djafar, executive director of the Catalyst Policy Works think tank, said the court deliberately avoided prescribing a single business model, allowing operators to continue offering conventional packages as long as customers are clearly informed about their options.
