There are about four large satellite broadcasters, but several mushroom operations locally.<BR/><BR/>Three satellite broadcast stations – CBNSat, LBN and SATNet – were sealed recently, on allegations of operating without the required licence and approvals.<BR/><BR/>Following the shut down by the Criminal Investigations Department, local cable television provider CBNSat is in courts to restart operations.<BR/><BR/>The TRC says CBNSat was operating off an External Gateway Licence (EGO) issued to an associate company and limited to international telecom data traffic and not satellite broadcasts.<BR/><BR/>Other operator Comet Cable is functioning on frequencies issued by the Commission, the TRC says and under the required licence issued by the media and information ministry.<BR/><BR/>According to reports, the Media Ministry is to state their position on the licensing of CBNsat by June 28 or charges against the cable provider will be dropped.<BR/><BR/>Source:lankabusinessonline.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150972073636861232006-06-22T15:57:00.000+05:302006-06-22T15:57:00.000+05:30The real person behind thie entire episode is H.P....The real person behind thie entire episode is H.P.Gunaratne at TRC.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150968742335477052006-06-22T15:02:00.000+05:302006-06-22T15:02:00.000+05:30Your right jolly,what he has done is increase the ...Your right jolly,what he has done is increase the sale of pirated cds and dvds of the movie and that is far illegal than transmitting legally obtained, internationaly acclaimed channels and mind you this media licence scence is just a cover up to put the compny and the poor subscribers in dissaray.<BR/><BR/>The letter produced by the CBNsat lawyers yesterday at courts clearly confirms that they did not need the media licence for a broadband transmission is this nature and this is living proof what kind of jokers are running our country,Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150968078468641312006-06-22T14:51:00.000+05:302006-06-22T14:51:00.000+05:30Guys cant we subscribers get together and file a c...Guys cant we subscribers get together and file a case against the regulators or whoever as it seemes that these officials with vested interest is trying to screw CBNsat.<BR/><BR/>I hear that at the proceedings yesterday the lawyers of CBNsat has produced a letter issued by Mr.Ganegala (He was the media secretary) to some third party where he has eloberated that these kind of DTH transmissiond doesant come under their purview,The magistrate after seing it has informed that since they are willing to give the licence obtain it.<BR/><BR/>I think we also as subscribers go to courts against these officials and regulators,after all they should protect us?Should theyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150966508616525012006-06-22T14:25:00.000+05:302006-06-22T14:25:00.000+05:30Much formal way of writing... please insert 'A hre...Much formal way of writing... please insert <B><I>'<'</I>A href="put ur url"<I>'>'</I>W3C Web site><I>'<'</I>/A<I>'>'</I>.</B><BR/> By this way the bloggers will able to access the contents more easilly...<BR/><BR/> when posting please remove the ' mark that ive used to show the content... then the given url can be navigable from the blog itself..<BR/> thx.. n do it with sence...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150963237478557982006-06-22T13:30:00.000+05:302006-06-22T13:30:00.000+05:30You are absolutely correct,The president bans "DA ...You are absolutely correct,The president bans "DA VINCI CODE" without a word or basically not knowing what the contents are.<BR/><BR/>Here the only provider who had the technology and the common sence to go in to villages are suddnly shut off from the world and they are mum shut.<BR/><BR/>You should understand, hard earned mony of 25000 general subscribers and 100000 viewers,The world cup and a massive investment by the company on technology never expereinced in the country and "DA VINCI CODE" is more important than this,<BR/><BR/>This is why the country is going to dogs,We have learned and know that the corrupted politicians cannot be depended on for fair play but we had a little hope on the legal system,is it worth waiting?

It’s the normal people who would be deprived of that right as well," he said.<BR/><BR/>He further said the media should not be looked down upon in this manner since it could play a very positive role in the development of the country.<BR/><BR/>Deshapriya said that 24-hour news channels have become indispensable in Sri Lanka after incidents like the tsunami. He further said that providing sufficient power is the duty of the government.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150955367497413722006-06-22T11:19:00.000+05:302006-06-22T11:19:00.000+05:30ALL THE CONTACTS ARE HEREhttp://www.news.lk/guide_...<B>ALL THE CONTACTS ARE HERE</B><BR/><BR/>http://www.news.lk/guide_to_ministries_2006/<BR/>mass_media_&_information.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150955322665231082006-06-22T11:18:00.000+05:302006-06-22T11:18:00.000+05:30ALL THE CONTACTS ARE HEREhttp://www.news.lk/guide_...<B>ALL THE CONTACTS ARE HERE</B><BR/><BR/>http://www.news.lk/guide_to_ministries_2006/mass_media_&_information.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29378071.post-1150952976478141342006-06-22T10:39:00.000+05:302006-06-22T10:39:00.000+05:30Thought of writing to the Minster of Mass media an...Thought of writing to the Minster of Mass media and information;<BR/><BR/>Hon.Mr. Anura Priyadharshana Yapa<BR/>163, Kirulapone Mawatha, Polhengoda, Colombo 05.<BR/>Fax: 2513440<BR/><BR/>Our Friend;<BR/>Mr. Vajira Narampanava<BR/>Additional Secretary (Dev)<BR/>18th Floor, World Trade Centre, West Tower, Colombo 01.<BR/>Office Tel: 2513645<BR/>Fax:2513645<BR/>Residance:2413580Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
