Indonesian mobile operator Excelcomindo Pratama (XL) is considering revising down its subscriber target for 2008 amid the quickening economic downturn. The company had envisaged signing up between 27-28 million customers by the end of this year, but is now lowering its sights to 25-27 million. On a more positive note, XL is confident that it will reach a decision on its proposed USD900 million sale of its tower assets by that date. Local press reports suggest that two investment firms – Saratoga Capital and Recapital – are interested in buying the infrastructure which includes approximately 7,000 base stations.
