Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme on AppleStore
As some people know, the reason Apple and Apple resellers have not been selling standalone wireless n devices in Indonesia is because Indonesian regulations covering radio frequencies still prohibit private use of the 5GHz frequency by individuals without an explicit license.
Most notebooks however already have 802.11n technology built in including Apple's. I think these devices have some sort of special permissions because they are not dedicated wireless routers.
You may have seen wireless n routers being sold all over Jakarta and other Indonesian cities but they have not been approved or even certified by the relevant government department. You know where I was going with that don't you?
So it was with great surprise when I saw the brand new Time Capsule and AirPort Extreme listed on Apple's Online Store for Indonesia. However when I click on each of the two links, I got set to a blank page. As you can see on the screenshot, the link for Time Capsule leads to a null page.
If this was an oversight on Apple's part, why didn't they just not include the two images? Have them changed to something else perhaps? Will Apple have them in Indonesia finally or will they delist them from the site in the next few hours or days? We'll find out soon enough.
