French State Council will vote on March 15, 2012 filed by the two referred SIRTI

The SIRTI (Interprofessional Union Independent Radio and Television) filed two applications for interim relief that just passed the barrier of entry to the State Council: the first against the refusal of the CSA to issue authorizations in NTR in Paris, Marseille and Nice, the second against the CSA's decision to issue a call for nominations for a distributor to pay radio services, which is set at the close today.
 
The SIRTI campaigning for the deployment of Digital Terrestrial Radio depending on the model of free, using a method of authorization by editor, for all categories of stations, including local, regional and thematic independent. It is this model that was retained when the call for applications in March 2008, after which 136 radios have been shortlisted in Paris, Marseille and Nice.
 
However, the CSA has decided to block the broadcasting licenses of Paris, Marseille and Nice on the pretext that he would like to add the DAB + standard.
 
Meanwhile, the CSA launched on 28 December, a call for applications on a purely national model, with the standard T-DMB, potentially paying, open a service distributor. This model of the launch of NTS rules out a whole side of the radio landscape for the benefit of some selected programs by distributors selected by the CSA.
 
This denies the aspirations of hundreds of publishers to participate in the launch of DAB in France.
 
The hearing at the State Council for the two interim application is 15 March 2012.
