As usual, looks  like reality is much  more complicated than one would
expect.. I guess this is something else to put on the "things to study
(and do)"  (in fact, I discovered I  had already read UPD  analysis of
the proposed broadcast treaty, but it somehow slipped out of my mind).

Thanks for the precious insights.

Ciao,
