The Indonesian government has announced an official decree that Indonesia has chosen the Eureka-147 family, which includes DAB and DAB+ for digital radio and DMB for radio and mobile TV as the national standard for digital radio.

Indonesia is the largest country in south-east Asia with a population of around 240 million.  DMB trials have been running in the capital, Jakarta, since 2006.  There are currently four services on air.  The trial is operated by the regulator and MNC, the largest media company in Indonesia.

Further tests are planned for Bandung, Medan and Surabaya.

In 2007 the PST Indonesian electronics company, PT Agis, IPTV systems integrator, Broadband Network Systems and Toshiba joined together to build a nationwide DMB network in Indonesia.  The benefit of using DMB in Indonesia is that a single frequency could be used to cover the whole of the country.
