| In countries other than the Netherlands, Intrax will be subject to the same operational constraints relating to uplinking and satellite capacity as its competitors. |
| The uplinking of signals to satellites, traditionally an activity reserved exclusively for the TOs, was liberalized in the Netherlands in 1991 as far as satellite news gathering is concerned. |
| It consists of a seven-day training course, using one-way video and two-way audio links, uplinking programmes from the studios of the Indira Gandhi National Open University. |
| Reduced investment: SKYPLEX reduces the uplink antenna size to 1.2 and 1.8 meters, substantially reducing the broadcaster's investment in uplinking. |
| This includes satellite uplinking, satellite newsgathering, outside broadcast facilities, programme presentation, play-out and distribution. |
| Secondly, even when uplinking in the Netherlands these companies are free to acquire capacity on Eutelsat satellites via the Signatories in at least France, Germany and the United Kingdom. |
