Cable TV company raided and taken off air in Phuket

By Kritsada Mueanhawong

 

 

National Broadcasting and Telecommunication Commission (NBTC) officials, together with the Phuket City Police and soldiers, today raided a cable TV company in Phuket Town over illegal operating services.

 

At 10am officers raided KPP Enterprise on Phang Nga Road in Phuket Town after it was found that the company had been illegally operating the cable services.

 

The license was revoked on September 7 this year as the company hadn’t paid licensing fees for the 2016 account year. The company had received a revocation of documents on September 12 but was still operating the service.

" Cable TV company raided and taken off air...:

Uh, well now... hmmm... Any of the geniuses who write these headlines aware that being cable (transmission along a line) is not "on the air" meaning broadcast  through air with antenna reception? If not on the air, can't be taken off the air. Did I miss something?

They also do (used to do) satellite transmission.

The REAL reason - they had a Taksin calendar up on the wall in one of their broadcasts.

hahahahaha. Well, it;s quite common. "You on the air" say e.g. FOX News host to an interviewee whether he/she is on the phone or sending his messages in the bottle or via sattelites (no air there).

And of course the government will refund the remaining subscription fees to the public who subscribed to the service ...
