Abstract
Fraud in international terminated traffic is a serious challenge in Indonesia's telecommunications industry. Practices such as interconnect bypass and CLI spoofing not only cause losses to operators, but also threaten national security and public trust. This research aims to analyse Indonesia's current policies in dealing with fraud in international terminated traffic and identify alternative policies that are more effective and adaptive. The research uses a limited approach of Regulatory Impact Analysis (RIA), which only covers the problem definition stage and the formulation of policy alternatives. Data was collected through test calls by the Ministry of Communications and Digital of the Republic of Indonesia (May 2023-October 2024), literature and regulatory studies, and relevant secondary data. The results show that the existing policies still have significant loopholes in the practice of international termination traffic fraud. This research proposes several technical and regulatory policy alternatives that can be used as the basis for further policy development by regulators.
