Abstract

Indonesia has aimed towards digital FTA-TV migration due to the need to increase broadband services for the society. However, the main obstacle for the migration is the fact that the current Broadcasting Law No.32 (2002) does not acknowledge ‘multiplex operators’ which are going to be prominent new players in the digital broadcasting business. In response to this, the Indonesian legislature and executive government have proposed amendment to the current Broadcasting Law. By applying qualitative policy document analysis, a literature review and interviews with policymakers, this study examines the amendment drafts proposed by both the DPR and the Ministry of Kominfo, to identify: how multiplexing and multiplex operators are proposed to be regulated; what aspects of multiplexing have been overlooked and therefore left unregulated; how the proposed multiplexing arrangement will potentially impact on competition within the industry; and finally, these policy documents are seen as reflecting a fallacy in the understanding of Indonesian policymakers on the technological nature and business of digital broadcasting.
