Indonesian Minister of Communication and Information encourages LPP RRI to implement digitalisation
Advances in digital technology are shifting the behaviour of audiences in listening to radio broadcasts. Responding to the dynamics of disruption due to technology, Minister of Communication and Information Budi Arie Setiadi encouraged Public Broadcasting Institution (LPP) Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) to implement digitalisation. "Disruption to the broadcasting industry presents a challenge for radio people to maintain their existence. This gives urgency to the radio broadcasting industry to adapt to technological developments," he said in a Public Discussion on "Challenges and Opportunities of Radio Broadcasting Digitalisation" organised by LPP RRI in Central Jakarta, on 1 August. He notes a key step was optimising the development of the digital radio ecosystem through the utilisation of LPP RRI's infrastructure. This includes the adoption of the DAB+ technology standard.
