Parabola antenna

Parabola antenna

From Bisnis Indonesia

Residents in North Jakarta can now use parallel connections of parabola antennas for Star TV broadcast. By using this parallel connection, the broadcast can be received within the immediate neighborhood. Obviously the connection is made without permission of the authorities (Department of Information or other institutions). It is done by an illegal amateur agent. The customer can contact the head of the neighborhood for such a connection.

In the beginning the cable connections were done in secret, but now it is an open practice. They have erected posts along the road in Muara Karang and Pluit, North Jakarta, with a network of cables crossing one another.

If this illegal practice is left unchecked I am afraid the situation will become worse and may spread to other cities. I call on the authorities to take necessary measures to stop such a practice before it's too late.
