I actually thought that it was last night that RCTV International was supposed to shutdown its cable and TV signal, but it was tonight. Then this afternoon the Venezuelan Supreme Court admitted an injunction from the Chamber of cable TV services. The arguments are very simple:
i) The Chamber of Cable TV operators does not know which are the networks to be excluded or not.
ii) It does not know why RCTV International was given 5 days to comply why the others were given ten days.
iii) There is no definition of who is or not a “national operator”.
iv) It does not know the existence of any regulations on this matter and asks that the regulator be ordered to issue them.
The Court had to admit the case since it was so obvious that the whole thing was built to get RCTV International off the air, going as far as requiring it to go off the air earlier than the others. Funny that on the same day Chavez authorized the creation of a new Telesur Venezuela, that would register as a local network, something the “other” Telesur had never done or had never been required to do in the past.
