CASBAA applauds C-band ruling
November 27, 2007
The Asia Pacific pay-TV industry has hailed an International Telecommunication Union (ITU) decision on the preservation of C-band spectrum for satellite TV services in Asia as “a long-awaited positive outcome on a contentious issue”. According to the Cable & Satellite Broadcasting Association of Asia (CASBAA), the decision taken by the United Nations-led ITU World Radio Conference (WRC) recognised the central role that broadcasting – and in particular pay-TV services – plays within the Asian communications market.
