US embassy cable - 04BRASILIA1207

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(S) DATT and Econoff met with ANATEL's (Brazil's telecom 
regulator) General Satellite Manager Sueli Aruajo, 
Supervision of Satellite Services Manager Paulo Machado, 
Operations Manager Jose Amado, and Engineer Jaime Ono on May 
14.  We delivered Reftel talking points and left a copy in 
English with the ANATEL team.  They asked specifics about the 
types of interference, which frequency channels are affected, 
how often, and during what times of the day.  DATT committed 
to obtaining these answers and will transmit the answers to 
Econoff, who will respond to ANATEL.  DATT offered a 
technical team to assist ANATEL discover the sources of 
interference, but our interlocutors responded that assistance 
is not required at this time.  The ANATEL team promised to 
investigate the frequencies further, and when the sources are 
found, will advise and consult with us further.
