Internet TV Storms Into Indonesia

Internet TV Indonesia

The latest in internet television technology is moving into Indonesia as three major brands, Sony, LG, and Samsung, are now racing to market their online TV products in the country.

Sony has launched 23 models of Sony Bravia TV and 15 of them are internet TVs. With remote control and a qwerty keyboard, Sony Internet TV delivers traditional the television experience but you also can browse various websites, surf social media sites, and even make video calls.

Meanwhile LG is presenting the Infinia TV series and is working with some news sites like Detik.com, Kaskus.us, and Liputan6.com to bring news via internet TV.

And Samsung is launching its Smart TV in cooperation with the Antara and Jakarta’s traffic management center, TMC, for presenting the latest news. Smart TV can be associated with any Samsung devices in your home with a wireless connection.

Yoo-Young Kim, managing director of Samsung Electronics Indonesia, said that Indonesian people are now more sophisticated and prepared to accept the presence of multi-featured internet TV. He said, “I think the Internet TVs are only the beginning of the rise of the digital era.”

This certainly looks like an accurate assessment, especially when we see the development of the digital technologies, especially in Indonesia moving so fast.
