INDONESIA: Residents protest telco company

Jakarta --- More than 500 residents of Kebahar Dukuh village in Serang, Banten province, staged a rally against a cellular phone operator demanding compensation for harm they say was caused by a telecommunication tower in their neighborhood.
The rally turned violent when the residents breached a perimeter fence, attempting to scale the tower.
The tower, built ten years ago, belongs to telecommunications operator Excelcomindo (XL). [more, asiamedia]
