The Urgency of the Government Requiring all Analog TV broadcasts to Migrate to Digital TV
Television of the Republic of Indonesia (TVRI) is the fist TV station in
Indonesia, which has been broadcasting since 1962. After almost 60
years, currently there are more than 13 TV broadcasters providing
broadcasting service, through Analog terrestrial broadcasting, using Ultra
High Frequency (UHF), which all of them will be migrate to Digital
Broadcasting no later than 02 November 2022.

The Urgency of the Government Requiring all Analog TV broadcasts to Migrate to Digital TV
 There are at least 3 main reasons that become the urgency of implementing Digital TV in
Indonesia.
 First, is because of Global Community Need, such as ITU where every Country has to define
Digital TV Standard
 In addition, there is a commitment from Indonesia, through the Geneva 2006 Frequency Plan
(GE06), and to determine the Radio Frequency Spectrum (SFR) for Digital TV broadcasts, at
the Regional Radio Communication Conference (RRC-06).
 Encouraging all countries to continue to harmonize radio frequency spectrum with
neighboring countries, replacing radio frequency for terrestrial analog TV broadcasting,
known as the Stockholm Agreement in 1961 (ST61).
 August 24, 1962, TVRI aired for the first time, as well as the encouragement of the Global
Industry, because the scale of the Indonesian market is so large that it significantly affects the
Global TV Technology Supply Chain.
 Second, is because of the demand for frequency spectrum efficiency, for the purposes of 5G
telecommunication services and frequency services for medicine, environmental monitoring,
weather monitoring and natural disasters, agriculture, transportation, and other sectors.
 Third, is because of the demands of Digital Technology which offers new features in the era of
Digital broadcasting and convergence with other digital media.
 The World Digital TV Standards:
 DVBT/DVB-T2 from Europe: Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia and Most other
countries, most used
 ATSC from America : Canada, North Korea, Haiti
 ISDB-T from Japan : Japan, Brazil, Philippines
 DTMB from China : China, Cuba, Cambodia

Economic of Scale for the Digital TV Migration in Indonesia
At least, there will be 3 major components that can be seen from an Economic Perspectives.
 First, Frequency Availability  digital divident
 Analog TV requires a lot of use of the 700 MHz frequency band, namely 470-798 Mhz as much as 328 MHz.
 Digital TV, will only requires 176 MHz, or rather 216 MHz, which is 478 MHz – 694 MHz, including 8Ch (40
Mhz) for Special Purposes.
 So there will be around 112 MHz bandwidth as Digital Dividend that can be used for other purposes, such
as Broadband internet services, Mobile Communication, 5G, 6G and other Advanced Solutions which will
be possible used for Disaster Mitigation, IoT, Rural Communications, fisherman communication system at
the sea, and other Public Service Communications.
 Based on the Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) report, this 700Mhz
rearrangement provides potential economic benefits, which is estimated at USD11 billion (Rp.161 trillion)
for the Indonesian economy during the 2020–2030 period, from the Frequency Usage Rights Fee (BHP) TV
Tax.
 This is equivalent to an additional 1% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
 Second, there are New Business Potentials
 Potential business devices needed, Transmitter, Encoder, Mux, STB, and also Application Software
 STB economic value is around 17T (USD20 x 60 million = USD 1,200 billion) TKDN potential is very high
 HeadEnd, MUX, Antenna more than 10T (USD1 Million x 34 x 6 x 4 = USD816 Billion) Role of Domestic
Industry
 Third, The resulting of Creative Economy will be quite large
• More varied content, local content (user generated content) and from advertisements, the value is very
large
• 250,000 New jobs, creative economy sector

The technical parameters of digital broadcast content bitrate consist of:
a. digital broadcast bitrate for Standard Definition (SD) quality up to 2.5
Mbps; and
b. digital broadcast bitrate for High Definition (HD) quality up to 6 Mbps.
With the DVB-T2 standard, and using MPEG-4 video compression, one
frequency channel can be utilized for 13 SDTV (2.5 Mbps) or 5 HDTV (6
Mbps) broadcast programs. The difference between SDTV television and
HDTV lies in the picture quality. Image reception on HD televisions is
much sharper and clearer than on SD.

Benefit to The People
As many as 70% or 49-50 million households still use analog TV. Although, the purpose
of this migration is good, in the midst of the economic crisis due to the Covid-19
pandemic, this has the potential to burden the community to buy devices (Set Top Box
/ STB) to support tv migration, especially people in rural areas.
STB is needed in order to receive Digital TV broadcasts. However, the benefits that the
community gets, are quite worthed.
 As an illustration of public consumption for internet or data packages, it may be
more than Rp. 200 thousand a month. While the affordable price of STB with
simple features, the price is under Rp. 200 thousand, one time buy for forever.
 Improved quality, in terms of picture, better sound, more stable and robust signal.
 Increase in quantity, in terms of the number of broadcast programs, types and
variations of broadcast programs.
 Increase community opportunities to be able to produce various profitable new
programs, which will get additional income for the community (Creative Economy)
 There are new business opportunities, e-commerce through Digital TV, shopping
vouchers, PPOB, etc.
 A new type of service, Online Schools and Lectures via Digital TV (the video and
audio picture quality is much clearer and more stable)
 Obtaining efficiency in the use of radio frequency channels and electricity
consumption nationally,
 Obtained digital dividend at Golden Frequency (about 700 MHz band)
 Improvement of Efficiency
 Frequency channel usage
 Electrical Power Usage
 Improvement Quality
 Clearer Sound and Picture / Video
 Signal more stable and robust
 Broadcasting Format HDTV / HEVC
 Incensement in Quantity
 More Content/Program will be available
 Diversity of content
 Digital Dividend benefits
 New Business Potential
 New ICT Services
 Possible to be implemented in Security and
Defense service areas
 New Technology of Telecommunication (5G, IoT,
PPDR, Advanced Mobile Communications)

7. 7
The Readiness of the Digital Infrastructure
The readiness of digital infrastructure to support this program is important, because this infrastructure must of course adapt to
geographical conditions, area size, radio frequency limitations and digital broadcast technology capabilities.
 The Government has prepared it carefully, especially from the regulation perspective, ruled by Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job
Creation and Government regulations (PP) Number 46 of 2021, related to Post, Telecommunications and Broadcasting (PosTelSiar).
 Ministerial Regulation (PM) Number 06 of 2019 concerning the Radio Frequency Master Plan for the Need for Terrestrial Digital
Broadcast Television in the Ultra High Frequency Radio Frequency Band DVB-T2 Digital TV.
 Ministerial Regulation Number 4 of 2019, concerning Technical Requirements for Telecommunication Equipment and/or Equipment
for the purposes of Broadcasting Television and Radio Broadcasts
 Ministerial Regulation Number 3 of 2019, concerning Implementation of Simulcast Broadcasting in the Framework of Preparation
for Migration of Analog Television Broadcasting System to Digital Television Broadcasting System
 Digital TV Service Areas have been determined throughout Indonesia, with total of 112 Service Areas,
 Most Private TVs are ready for Migration to Digital TV
 Human Recourse will be also ready
There are 112 Service Areas, to cover national wide Digital
terrestrial broadcasting service in Indonesia.
The protection ratio for the operation of multiplexing
terrestrial digital broadcast television consists of:
a. Protection ratio for the same Radio Frequency

 In Indonesia, there are any other media providing Audio and Video services in the form of OTT, however they are
require a Broadband Internet network and to get their service, are usually to be paid, base on subscription scheme or
any other payment scheme.
 Meanwhile, in the Indonesia Digital TV Terrestrial, most of the services are Free, which in other countries is still an
option for viewers.
 Technically, the distribution is one-way, free of charge, safe and has national wide coverage.
 According to several surveys, Nielsen, IDN Research, released by Indonesia Broadcasting Commission (KPI) at the end
of 2020, more than 89% of Indonesians people, to access information through Broadcasting TV media (aged 21-36
years).
 The reason is because TV news is still considered the most reliable for its truth and accuracy (the possibility of hoax
information is very small).
 Entertainment content can also be accounted for, because TV Media is almost 100% free from harmful content

 As a Practitioner and Society, I hope that the government's plan on Migration needs to be supported, especially from the analog TV
industry players. Because the world has changed, and we must have the courage to adapt to global changes.
 The public has the right to receive TV broadcast services that are more diverse and of higher quality. It will be closely related to the
acceleration of the National Digital Transformation. Because in the future there will be more opportunities for the public to play a role
in the preparation of more varied content that can be broadcast on Digital TV. Something that is almost impossible to happen in the
Analog Broadcasting TV era.
 In this digital transformation process, the Development of Digital Connectivity and Digital Talent is the main supporter in the field of
readiness of Human Resources, so that they are able to master various digital skills and expertise, so that Indonesia is more ready to
play a role in the implementation of Telecommunications in the 5G era.
This migration is very
important and will provide
benefits for the wider
community, as well as an
increase in participation role
of the Domestic Industry.
