The Information and Communications Ministry on Friday temporarily suspended the operations of pay TV provider Astro Nusantara.
The ministry's acting spokesman, Freddy Tulung, said the suspension was related to the failure of Astro partner PT Direct Vision to pay an obligatory fee.
Astro operator Direct Vision posted an announcement on its website that as of 10 a.m. on Friday, Astro was off the air.
Freddy said the ministry would allow Astro to return to the air once Direct Vision fulfilled all of its obligations. (***)
