The President Director of Telkomsel, Setyanto Hantoro, previously mentioned the plan to unblock Netflix. At that time Setyanto said that the opening of Netflix access by the Telkom Group would still consider whether Netflix would comply with government regulations.
“If they want to change it to comply with regulations, especially regarding content and take down policy, and also want to empower local content producers more, so we are ready to open Netflix on Indihome and Telkomsel, “he said in a webinar held by Tempo on June 11, 2020.
Apart from the Telkom Group’s plans, Netflix itself has recently collaborated with the Ministry of Education and Culture (Kemendikbud) to present a number of documentary shows and those broadcast by TVRI. This is the first time that Netflix broadcasts on television, since its expansion to Indonesia in 2016 until now.
