Sabotage suspected
800,000 French people without cell phones and TV
Following a suspected arson attack on a telecommunications mast in the south of France, around 800,000 people have no cell phone reception and only limited television reception.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen The fire on the 90-metre-high transmission mast in Cenves near Lyon occurred on Monday night, reported the broadcaster France Info with reference to the network operator TDF (Télédiffusion de France). Its regional director spoke of an "undoubtedly criminal act".
Background still unclear
The damage was enormous and everything possible was being done to fully restore reception within 24 to 48 hours. Technicians and the police were on site. The background is still unclear.
However, it is not the first time that transmission systems have been affected by sabotage, TDF announced. In the summer, an anarchist group claimed to have set fire to a transmission mast during the Olympic Games.
