Mullahs Jamming Satellite TV Signals in Iran
EFL
First half snipped, rerun from yesterday...
Last week viewers complained that it had become almost impossible to watch their favorite programs. "The television screen is all waves and noisy interference," said Ellie, 28, an unemployed graduate with a degree in Persian literature. "I can't watch anything at all. It's so frustrating here without it."
Paenthetically, I note that the Iranian college education program has reached parity with the US system: we also have lots of unemployed graduates with degrees in literature.
Although it has long been illegal to buy or install satellite dishes, the devices cling to the sides of practically every building in the middle-class northern Tehran suburbs and are a common sight across town. Large circular white boxes installed in the grounds of government barracks and bases are believed to be jamming devices. Government ministers, however, denied any knowledge of an attempt to jam the satellite signals.
Offer a bounty for smashing each one of these.
