Macao To Postpone Crackdown On Illegal Satellite TV Transmission


Macao (XNA) Sep 01, 2005
The Macao government is to postpone the crack-down on unlicensed satellite TV transmission till Nov. 7, local media reported on Thursday.

The Macao Post Daily quoted Tou Veng Keong, director of the Telecommunication Technology Development Office (GDTTI), as saying that the GDTTI will spend the two-month period after the previously scheduled date of Sept. 12 to do more promotion among the public.

Tou said his office has received "a large number of opinions and suggestions" since it announced the crackdown decision two weeks back.

Many residents are seemingly not well informed of the satellite TV copyrights, said the official.

A number of local signal providers, dubbed "antenna companies," dominate some 90 percent of Macao's households with access to TV channels, according to Tou.

Without proper copyright arrangements, the antenna companies are able to offer TV channel services at a cheap price.
