China is going to launch soon a nationwide check on unauthorized use of satellite communication networks and ground relay stations, according to the Ministry of Information Industry (MII).

The use of satellite communication services has expanded rapidly in China in recent years, but the illegal building and use of satellite networks and relay stations are common, which disturbs the normal operation of satellite communications and endangers social security, ministry officials said.

According to a joint notice issued by the MII and the Ministry of Public Security, licensed satellite communication services and facilities must be registered with the relevant authorities, and illegal use has to be stopped immediately.

Violators will be prosecuted and if found guilty punished, and their equipment confiscated, officials said.
