Beijing - Sep 06, 2002
China is going to launch soon a nationwide check on unauthorized use of satellite communication networks and ground relay stations, according to the Ministry of Information Industry (MII).

The use of satellite communication services has expanded rapidly in China in recent years, but the illegal building and use of satellite networks and relay stations are common, which disturbs the normal operation of satellite communications and endangers social security, ministry officials said.

Violators will be prosecuted and if found guilty punished, and their equipment confiscated, officials said.
