Indonesia is again moving toward introducing a policy to benefit homegrown industries -- this time for producers of parts and materials for smartphones. The government is looking to require makers of the devices sold in the country to use local parts and materials. The measure is likely to be a major sore point for Apple and other manufacturers of high-end handsets.
"Only Apple and BlackBerry are still refusing," a high-ranking official in charge of electronic devices at the Ministry of Industry told a local newspaper.
