2017, Singapore – Global
phenomenon and Singapore’s own livestreaming brand BIGO LIVE hosted
a knowledge-sharing partnership where high level senior civil
servants from the Ministry of Communication of Indonesia were among
a selected team of delegates that attended a meeting held in end
August with BIGO LIVE representatives, selectively held in both
Indonesia and Guangzhou as an exchange visit to understand the
technology powering the livestreaming industry.
During the visit, the Indonesian
delegation got first-hand experience on the use of BIGO’s network
monitoring technology which is one of the main infrastructure of
the business to ensure that the environment protects users. The
team was welcomed by BIGO co-founder Mr Jason Hu Jianqiang with a
guided tour of BIGO’s technology, sharing experiences and expert
insights on the industry to assist the Indonesian Ministry
implement their regulatory measures in Indonesia livestreaming.
This cooperation which was forged last year has helped Indonesia
Ministry of Communication tremendously as the ministry establishes
its internet business in the local market.
During the visit, Semuel Abrijani
Pangerapan, Director of General Informatics Applications of
Indonesia, said: "We have seen BIGO's efforts in Indonesia, and
BIGO has been a good role model in Indonesia livestreaming industry
and we hope to further standardize the livestreaming industry
practice and regulations in Indonesia with the proactive help and
assistance from BIGO.”
Speaking from Singapore, BIGO co-founder
Jason Hu stressed that BIGO has always placed great emphasis and
importance in localized network monitoring supervision, user’s
safety and respecting every country’s customs and culture. Since
the establishment of BIGO office in Indonesia last year, there is a
fully functional local network monitoring and surveillance team
that incorporates Artificial Recognition technology to monitor
round the clock 24hr livestreaming content. BIGO will continue to
be proactive and work with the respective Ministry of
Communications globally to assist governing bodies to implement
regulatory measures in the industry and be the industry role
model.
The Indonesian Ministry of
Communications, in recognition of Singapore BIGO's efforts in
contributing to local regulatory work in Indonesia, hopes to learn
from BIGO's experience and technology set in the livestreaming
monitoring system. Additionally, the ministry also intends to
establish Singapore home brand BIGO as the role model in the
livestreaming industry and also as an Internet business
company. Further to that, the Indonesian Ministry of
Communications has officially instructed BIGO to work with the
ministry’s public relations department to roll out its government
campaign for cyber security and livestreaming. It is reported that
BIGO is by far the only authorized livestreaming partner who is
working with the Indonesian Ministry of Communications.
It is worth mentioning that, in addition
to Huawei, the cross- border visit to BIGO’s offices is the only
oversea- business invitation that the Indonesian delegation had
accepted.
This visit is significant to BIGO's
long-term development in Indonesia. First of all, the visit
represents the Indonesian government's emphasis on the development
of new industries, creating an open and safe environment for
Internet companies in Indonesia which provides good support to
companies such as Singapore-based company BIGO to expand into
Indonesia. Secondly, through communication with the Ministry of
Communications, BIGO can gain a deeper understanding of local
regulations and its culture which brings about better cooperate
with local government and set as an exemplary role in the industry.
Lastly, the Ministry of Communications had also provided with a lot
of valuable suggestions for BIGO’s future development in
Indonesia.
