So I've been picking up these Telkom Access Points in town.

6c:fa:89:ac:ed:99 2462 -67 [WPA2-EAP-CCMP-preauth][ESS] 1 Telkom Connect
6c:fa:89:c8:c6:d9 2412 -63 [WPA2-EAP-CCMP-preauth][ESS] 1 Telkom Connect
6c:fa:89:ac:ed:9a 2462 -65 [ESS] 1 Telkom Guest
6c:fa:89:c8:c6:da 2412 -65 [ESS] 1 Telkom Guest
MAC Address Details
Company: Cisco
Address: San Jose CA 95134, SJCM/2, UNITED STATES
Range: 6C:FA:89:00:00:00 - 6C:FA:89:FF:FF:FF
Type: IEEE MA-L

They seem pretty normal and standard, but then I found this:

00:04:ed:d5:88:f9 2412 -67 [WPA-PSK-TKIP][ESS] Telkom Regulatory

MAC Address Details
Company: Billion Electric Co., Ltd.
Address: Taiwan Taiwan ROC, Hsin Tien City, Taipei Hsien, TAIWAN, PROVINCE OF CHINA
Range: 00:04:ED:00:00:00 - 00:04:ED:FF:FF:FF
Type: IEEE MA-L

I've even found a "1 Telkom Free" AP, but didn't record the MAC at the time. Does anybody know what these alternative APs are that happens to carry the word "Telkom" in their name?
 
OP was probably very close to a Telkom building... most bigger offices have secured WiFi networks, especially those with conference areas.
