DVB-T2 Indonesia TV adopted

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology of Indonesia proposed the adoption of the next generation டிவிபி-டி 2 standard for free-to-air broadcasts when Jakarta switches to digital broadcasts, BroadbandTvNews reports.

The original plan was for introducing a DVB-T network but after consultation with industry players the Ministry decided to switch to the more advanced version.

In a statement the Ministry explains that the use of டிவிபி-டி 2 would open up the market to additional broadcasters.

印度尼西亚通信和信息技术部提议在该国转换到数字电视广播时免费电视广播采用下一代டிவிபி-டி 2标准。该部表示采用DVB-T2将为更多的广播机构开启市场，在必要的法令颁布后的两个月将进行一个遴选过程。印尼原来决定继续推进DVB-T网络。

Following a public consultation in December 2011, the Indonesian Ministry of Communications and Information Technology is expected to publish a request for tender for new digital television broadcasting equipment in the first quarter of 2012. Indonesia originally decided to roll out a DVB-T network, but is now expected to select the second generation standard, டிவிபி-டி 2. More information can be found on the Ministry’s website.
