Thanks.....we *know* about the Cuba policies (trying to get Arnie here
for the Fest  <sigh----will we *ever* see Arnie?>). I especially agree
with your comments that we should not sit back and do nothing. When it
comes to communications issues, I think many times it has been shortwave
people that have spoken up and taken the lead on heavy issues (such as
Ralph's "Save the BBC World Service" work) when no one else was able or
willing to carry the torch. 

We need to stay activist. Use it-or lose it!

Give it time, Maryanne. Our Cuban policy (ie: embargo) has been a total
failure for over 40 years now. Constructive engagement has opened China
some and it appears right now that it will continue to do so in an
evolutionary way, if not a revolutionary one. By any measure, our China
policy has been far more successful in changing China than our Cuba
policy has been in changing Cuba. 
That is not to say that we should do nothing. At every opportunity
(bilateral meetings, international telecom conferences, etc.), the point
should be made pointedly and directly to the Chinese government and to
the international community at large that jamming (ie: restriction on
speech) is unacceptable. Doing it ourselves (as Glenn suggests) would
undermine both our stated principles and violate our Constitution. 
While I understand the frustration, I fail to see how a policy of
reciprocal jamming helps our position, morally or practically. In my
view, it would only provide justification for their actions which would
be counterproductive.

We have a difference of opinion here----but it is good to hear the
opposing viewpoint(s). 
Something I am sure CCTV won't give us!

Isn't this a totalitarian approach to media -- a quid pro quo? Shouldn't
the "free markets" concept for ideas -- meaning TV channels 
-- 
hold sway in the USA even if it doesn't over there? Should the US
government block our access to RHC and CRI because Radio Marti and RFA
are jammed? 
We shortwave listeners would howl in protest. TV should be no exception. 
If CCTV-9 shows up on Comcast in Atlanta (or anywhere else for that
matter) one should contact the local newspaper's TV editor and politely
tell them how a viewer should critically evaluate what they're seeing.
My two cents...

I have my cable line-up sheet here (this is Comcast)----they offer on
Selecto TVE Internacional, and on optional services the "Korean
Television Network" and "TV Japan". 
On Digital Deluxe we have Newsworld International (I think that is
Canadian), and something called the International Channel. I don't have
Digital Deluxe yet but will be upgrading. I think it is DirecTV that
offers the Russian language programming, I checked the schedule out, and
most programs are offered that I watch in Moscow (except one.) I told
hubby that is the best way to "keep up" with 
a foreign language if you listen to it constantly. I seem to retain more 
of the television speakers, since some of the domestic radio talkers are 
way too fast for me (especially the FMers!) I will raise hell with
Comcast if they start offering CCTV.
