The meeting, organized by CASBAA and the Indonesian Broadcasting Commission (KPI), examined media convergence, the state of current regulation and proposed updated rules and regulations for Asia’s third most populous nation. Keynote speaker and former senior UK regulator Tim Suter said the rapidly changing media landscape meant that “old TV” regulatory practices could no longer be used to control the entirety of content available to consumers. A “new media” approach is necessary.
