KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Indonesia has asked telecoms providers to shut down some mobile internet services in its holiday island of Bali on Saturday (3/17), to respect the predominantly Hindu island's New Year "day of silence". Most activities on the island, known for its beaches and temples, usually come to a standstill on the day of "Nyepi", including a temporary closure of the international airport. But this is the first time internet providers have been asked to restrict cellular data, according to Telkomsel, the country's largest mobile network.
