Educate yourself about the history of the Egyptian Radio and Television Union (formerly the Arab Radio and Television Union). No rational person who is aware of the situation in Egypt has any legitimate grounds to assert that the signal interference was anything other than intentional sabotage (and not due to poor broadcast infrastructure).<br /><br />Secondly, "afraid from" is not Zeinobia's "trademark style", or how she likes to "roll". It's merely one of the very few instances where a person whose first language is not English makes a very minor linguistic error.

Jamming is flooding a channel with static to drown out the signal and to do it you need a more powerful transmitter. I'm trying to look up how that would work with satellite but it sounds really fishy, to say the least. To "jam" a signal over that sort of area would take many transmitters operating from a lot of space. A bunch of US electronic warfare planes might be able to do it that way, but I doubt the Egyptian army could jam something in the UAE, let alone a few private malcontents. Hacking is easier and more likely, so I'm not sure where jamming comes in unless it is a translation issue, I'm not familiar with the nuances of such words. However you cut it, this is very suspicious. Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860224658444701747noreply@blogger.com
