Indonesia’s ICT minister in talks with Vimeo about restoring the nation’s access

“We are now in the process of discussion with Vimeo about how not to allow Indonesians access to the pornographic content,” says Indonesia’s new information and communications technology minister Rudiantara, commenting on how he is working to bring Vimeo back into the country.

The minister came into Startup Asia Jakarta 2014 for a short chat on stage with Enricko Lukman today, despite being summoned by Indonesia’s president Joko Widodo for an impromptu meeting. Rudiantara’s statements about making sites like Vimeo accessible again to Indonesia involved taking what he calls the “multi-stakeholders approach,” in which the concerned parties and Indonesia’s other ministers all weigh in on the decision-making alongside him.

The minister claims that he is currently creating a definitive framework for what the government can and should censor on the web in Indonesia. He says this framework will let people better understand what content they are allowed to craft, curate, and expose online in the country. Sites currently blocked in the archipelago include Vimeo, Reddit and Imgur.

In some cases, Indonesian citizens have ended up in jail for saying certain things online. A specific clause in the UU ITE (regulation about electronic information and transaction) lets anybody charge anyone else in a court of law for making them “feel offended.”

Rudiantara says he is thinking about addressing the problem in one of three ways: reducing the sentences served for those convicted, appointing specialized law enforcers that understand the validity of these cases, or educating Indonesia’s current law enforcement on how best to evaluate such cases.

Regarding tech startups in Indonesia, Rudiantara said, “I have no background at all in this kind of business, but I want to learn. I want to know what variables will make this industry a success in the future.” The minister added that the Indonesian government will need to spend US$24 billion on local IT infrastructure to create a more conducive environment for tech startups.

Lifeproof iPhone 6 waterproof case release is here

If you’ve invested a lot of money in the Apple iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus then you might also be thinking of getting a waterproof case for it. We’ve been bringing you news on the wait for Lifeproof cases for both phones, and finally one is now available. We have information on a Lifeproof iPhone 6 waterproof case release, although at this point the wait goes on for other cases.

We first wrote about these Lifeproof cases back in September when Lifeproof posted a video teaser on its site saying they were coming soon. Earlier this month the wait was still continuing and we received many comments from readers to say they were eager to get their hands on one of these cases. Heading to the Lifeproof site meant that you could register for notification about availability of the frē or nüüd case for the iPhone 6 or for the nüüd case for the iPhone 6 Plus.

It’s worth remembering that a good waterproof case does take a while to develop and test but the wait is now over, at least if you want the Lifeproof frē case for the iPhone 6. This case is now listed as in stock although a 3 to 4 day order processing time is shown. The case is not just waterproof but also dirt proof, snow proof and shock proof, offering great all-round protection for your handset.

I’m not surprised that the battery meter doesn’t work properly. This is something I’ve seen reported with many tablets out of China, both Android and Windows.

Indonesia restaurant booking platform Qraved raises another $1.3 million, will launch in Bali

The online food and beverage industry is getting hotter in Indonesia. Online restaurant booking platform Qraved announced today a follow-up investment of US$1.3 million, jointly led by Convergence Accel and M&Y Growth Partners. The startup plans to use the fresh funds to accelerate its local expansion and product development.

Qraved regularly offers discounts for reservations made on its online platform. It currently lets users place bookings for more than 1,500 restaurants in Jakarta, and will roll out partnerships with another 1,000 restaurants in Bali next month. Qraved also provides back-end technology for restaurant partners to manage bookings and build guest profiles online.

“Qraved’s vision is to create the best dining experience possible across all occasions. At the same time, we’re assisting our restaurant partners in the growth of their businesses by helping them to reach new markets and drive the development of the F&B industry,” explains CEO Steven Kim. The team plans to establish its presence in Indonesia’s major cities by early 2015.

Convergence Accel is a newly-launched VC in Indonesia, with Qraved co-founder Adrian Li at its helm. It’s really not that hard to see how this deal came about. Qraved previouslyraised seed funding from Rebright Partners, 500 Startups, and Skype co-founder Toivo Annus.

Still, Qraved is not the only fish in this pond. It faces competition from fellow online reservation platforms like MakanLuar and Indotable.
