Viewing cable 05CARACAS621, UPDATE: VENEZUELAN RADIO INTERFERENCE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables

CONATEL had investigated the issue and taken "corrective

CONATEL Director General, Alvin Pereira, to the FCC and the 
ITU on February 21 in which he relayed the same information 
regarding the resolution to the issue.
