On May 27, 2020, PT Visi Citra Mitra Mulia (INEWS TV) and PT Rajawali Citra Televisi Indonesia (RCTI), part of MNC Group, filed a Judicial Review petition at the Constitutional Court. The applicants challenge Art. 1 number 2 on the Law No. 32/2002 on Broadcasting, specifically questioning the definition of broadcasting laid out. They believe the applicable definition does not cover the activities carried out by internet-based services, such as over-the-top services. So the applicants argue that there is an unequal treatment between conventional broadcasters on radio frequency spectrum and OTT providers.
