This message is posted on behalf of the project Radio Nord International / Sonnet Radio Europe:
Letter of intent Radio Nord International is referred to as RTI Digital Ltd, the operating company of Radio Nord International and Sonnet Radio Europe and all of its ancillary operations. RTI Digital Ltd hereby propose to apply for a business concession and broadcast license for providing local and international radio programmes from the �land island's on the following wavebands; " Mediumwave AM Stereo using Motorola C-QUAM Stereo Modulation " Shortwave AM Modulation (Future DRM being considered) Other transport methods include the internet and possible satellite radio. RTI Digital Ltd propose to offer exclusive free promotion of �land's Tourist Board providing special features and advertising as part of our on air charter, offering promotion of the island's all year round. We also intend to provide exclusive deals for �land businesses with joint e-commerce facilities tied in with our web site, which is already attracting huge interest around the world. Radio Nord will provide programming in Swedish comprising of a mix of music / speech programmes with a local flavour on mediumwave. Radio Nord International will provide programming in both Swedish & English providing late night programming on mediumwave and 24 hour programming on shortwave penetrating Europe and beyond. We will heavily encourage the participation of local �landers to take part in all aspects of programming, production and creativity. We also will provide a number of intern positions for students studying or having an interest in media. RTI Digital Ltd believes heavily in promoting trade within the EU and outside where permitted, therefore �land businesses will have exclusive rights to excellent local and international advertising packages providing maximum reach on air and the Internet. Comment on recent articles in the �land newspapers: We have tried to make a couple of applications to be told all license applications have been blocked until after 2nd May 2005. We were told this two weeks after we first formed this project back in November last year. This came as a blow as we have so far invested nearly 1.2 million euros and this wait out period is costing us on a daily basis. We feel we have been targeted because of the mistakes of the Spenser and Sandgren issues with 603 KHz. We have held back our application until the period the Government set has passed (2nd May). As a business, we have serious issues with this ruling, which effectively is preventing us from applying and trading.
