In a world of business, Indonesia has an independent organization which has a function to watch
and control the fair/unfair practices, to create a healthy competitive business in Indonesia, and to
make sure that every business man never do something that could harm other people business. This
organization called KPPU (Komisi Pengawas Persaingan Usaha). Even if this organization has a
duty to watch and manage a competitive in bussines world, but in fact there’s still a few cases that
show the unfair trade practices. For example, the case of some provider who established the SMS
off-net fare that evidently has violent Article number 5 of 1999 Number 5 Act. This research has
been done in order to know the range of the authorization from KPPU to solve this kind of unfair
trade practices form. After analyze this problem, the result of this research is KPPU as the
organization who has the authority to control the fair/unfair trade practices has well-done finish its
duty like how its ordered from the Act. We can see it through its work, start from receiving and
analyze the report, until its decide to give a punishment to the provider who evidently violent the
rule. For the record, KPPU only has the authorization only to give a punishment, but not to watch
and control the punishment itself. Through this case and the research inside, the writer hope that in
the future, may the KPPU could finish its work to control the fair/unfair trade practices in
Indonesia, so this kind of violent won’t happen again.
