Ethiopia - ESAT TV says its signals jammed for third time
Ethiopian Satellite Television said its signals have been jammed for the third time since it launched service in May 2010. In a statement posted on its website, ESAT said, "Our evidence on the source of the illegal signal interference points exclusively in the direction of the Ethiopian Government. Beginning on July 20, the satellite system
carrying ESAT signals was bombarded by intense and sustained radio frequency interference disrupting a whole set of services provided by various public and private entities.
The evidence gathered by ESAT shows that the Ethiopian Government in illegal collaboration with certain parties in the satellite business attempted to isolate and disrupt
ESAT signals. Appartently, that effort backfired and knocked off the broadcast signals of the Ethiopian Government along with a number of other international satellite service providers. The Ethiopian Government by attempting to knock out ESAT ended up knocking itself off the air."
The station said it will take the appropriate legal and technological solutions to overcome inteference directed at its signals.
