CASBAA’s WAG Consultant, Jorn Christensen, represented the Association at a July 4-6 Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU) preparatory meeting for WRC 2012. Christensen spoke on the importance of obtaining ITU recognition that a “fixed” wireless broadband service is often equivalent to a “mobile” one, from a satellite interference perspective, as the receiving terminals (computers) can be effectively located anywhere in the service area, even if they don’t “walk around.” He used a recent Satellite Industry Committee Presentation to brief the ABU’s free-to-air broadcasters on C-band interference challenges.
