From Gulf News:
"Dubai: The ARY television network is considering to move its base out of Dubai, said a network official a day after the Dubai Media City resumed its satellite signal. "We lost $8 million in the 22 days that we were blocked in Pakistan and one week from Dubai… We are scared that it could happen again," said Salman Iqbal, chief executive officer of ARY.
Officials from the other blocked news channel, Geo News, had told Gulf News earlier that they too were considering a move from Dubai. A decision on whether to move out of Dubai will be taken by Monday, said Iqbal, adding that options being considered were London and Singapore.
He said that the channel's signal was resumed after the network was asked to sign a letter promising to abide by TECOM regulations."
