Jakarta – The Indonesian government has announced a new campaign aimed at tighter controls over illegal re-distribution of TV channels on cable services in the country. Speaking at a CASBAA seminar held in Jakarta, Director of Broadcasting in the Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, Bambang Subijantoro, said Indonesia has a dynamic and rapidly growing pay-TV industry, but many provincial cable companies were operating in the ‘informal’ sector without proper licences. He said the campaign was aimed at correcting that situation, and instilling respect for national laws – including intellectual property law – into the industry. He added that most of the estimated 2,700 pay-TV companies are small cable companies in provincial areas. The campaign is designed to educate provincial operators about their responsibilities under the law, and about the need to avoid illegal re-distribution of content.
