In unrelated news, the EU forced persian TV channels off these transponders a few days ago, citing the "targeted" sanctions intended to prevent Iran from drifting further afield.
- kps 14y agoThe word ‘persian’ there is a little misleading. The European satellite providers stopped carrying the Iranian government's channels, not Persian-language channels in general.
- fleitz 14y agoApparently the BBC opposes the removal of the iranian/persian channels as well. From the article "we strongly condemn any practice designed to disrupt audiences’ free access to news and information."
- tankenmate 14y agoIt maybe true that the BBC opposes this, but at the same time the BBC is beholden to UK and EU law; i.e. follow the law or be fined and/or loose all your licenses.
