52Thus, such transmission constitutes a single communication to the public by satellite if:— it is triggered by an ‘act of introducing’ programme-carrying signals, carried out ‘under the control and responsibility of the broadcasting organisation’;— those signals are introduced ‘into an uninterrupted chain of communication leading to the satellite and down towards the earth’;— the signals are ‘intended for reception by the public’; and— since in the main proceedings the signals are encrypted, the means for decrypting the broadcast are ‘provided to the public by the broadcasting organisation or with its consent’.
