Indonesia - Broadcasting

Synopsis

Free-to-Air (FTA) television has had a substantial impact in Indonesia, with almost three out of every four households having access to television. The advertising market, having suffered a major setback during the Asian economic crisis, has taken a decade to recover but is now moving strongly and sector revenues are steadily increasing. The pay TV market has not been as fortunate as the FTA market, struggling to some extent to build its customer base. This has been partly due to the fact that pay TV was too expensive for the average Indonesian household. The sector has also suffered problems relating to infrastructure. This report covers Indonesia’s TV broadcasting sector and notes the move to digital; there is also some information on the early development of IPTV in the country.
