Eutelsat
Renews
Complaints
on
Deliberate
Jamming
and
Appeals
for
Action
to
the
International
Telecommunication
Union
12
February
2010
Eutelsat
Communications
renewed
its
complaint
to
the
ANFR
(the
French
national
frequency
agency)
about
repeated
and
deliberate
interference
targeting
satellite
transmissions
by
television
and
radio
channels
that
include
BBC
Persian
Television,
the
Voice
of
America
Television
Channel
in
Persian,
the
Radio
Farda
service
of
Radio
Free
Europe/Radio
Liberty,
and
Deutsche
Welle's
Television
and
Radio
services.
Today’s
complaint,
officially
channelled
through
the
EUTELSAT
International
Intergovernmental
Organisation,
specifically
asks
the
ANFR
to
renew
its
objection
to
this
interference
to
the
International
Telecommunication
Union
(ITU),
and
for
this
case
to
be
addressed
at
the
next
meeting
of
the
Radiocommunications
Regulations
Board,
scheduled
in
March.
Eutelsat
asks
that
its
complaint
be
addressed
by
the
ITU
as a
priority
issue.
This
call
for
action
to
French
and
international
regulatory
authorities
follows
appeals
made
by
Eutelsat
since
May
2009
to
put
an
end
to
this
interference.
