Radio-electronic aggression
of Cuba condemned
BY GABRIEL DAVALOS—Granma daily—
THE illegal radio and television
transmissions to Cuba from the United States are
inadmissible and more so when they are designed to
foment internal subversion on the island, stated
Fabio Leite, director of the Radiocommunications
Office of the International Telecommunications Union
(ITU).
Leite,
who is attending the 12th International Informatics
Convention and Exhibition representing Hamadoun
Touré, secretary general of the ITU, affirmed that
on his return to Geneva, the headquarters of that
international organization, he will personally
expose the U.S. radio-electronic aggression of Cuba,
which currently amounts to 2,425 hours per week,
broadcast on 30 radio and television frequencies.
The director emphasized that this
constant U.S. attack is in violation of ITU
regulations, which stipulate that radio
transmissions within commercial broadcasting on
medium wave, modulated frequency or television must
be conceived of as a good quality national service
within the limits of the country concerned.
Fabio Leite praised the
achievements of our country in the
telecommunications field in spite of U.S. hostility
and stated that he would take it on himself to
inform all the directional levels of the ITU of
those results
