The Ministry of Communication and Informatics (Kominfo) has decided to stop analog TV broadcasts or Analog Switch Off (ASO) which is then transferred to digital TV broadcasts, not in three more stages, but in multiple ASOs.What is multiple ASO?The migration process for analog TV to digital has actually been going on since April 30, 2022, which is included in the implementation of ASO Phase 1. However, when it was implemented, out of 56 broadcast areas in 166 districts, only four broadcast areas were carried out in eight districts/cities.Now ahead of the implementation of Phase 2 of ASO on August 25, 2022, Kominfo has changed the method of stopping analog TV broadcasts by means of multiple ASO."For us to digitize television in Indonesia, it has been decided that it will be carried out in multiple stages or multiple stages, multiple ASO," said the Minister of Communication and Information in Jakarta, last Friday (19/8)."A lot of ASO will be carried out according to the readiness of the region. Technically, analog will turn on and off, depending on technical problems. Until one day on a certain date it is announced to be full ASO," he continued.Multiple ASO is the application of cessation of analog TV broadcasts which is carried out continuously until the deadline for broadcasting migration on November 2, 2022.When digital TV broadcasts are implemented in an area, it will now refer to three main things.First in the area there is an analog TV broadcast that will be discontinued.Second, it has operated digital TV broadcasts on analog TV broadcast coverage as a replacement.Third, the distribution of free digital TV set top boxes for poor households in the area has been carried out.The free set top box assistance was sourced from multiplexing (mux) providers as many as 5.7 million units distributed throughout Indonesia.Meanwhile, Kominfo also helped distribute one million units of free STB to poor households.Meanwhile, those who can afford it are encouraged to buy STB devices that are already available online and offline with a price range of Rp. 150 thousand to Rp. 300 thousand depending on the advantages of the features of each device.The application of Analog Switch Off (ASO) is based on Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creation and Government Regulation Number 46 of 2021 concerning Post, Telecommunications, and Broadcasting (Postelsiar).
