XOX said PT Inovasi provides telecommunication services. As for PBNU, it  is the largest independent Islamic organisation in the world and also a charitable body funding schools and hospitals as well as organising communities to help alleviate poverty.

The MoU will be for six month or until a commercial agreement is entered between the parties.
