The military-installed government completed the takeover of the countryâs only independent television station, and said it would temporarily pull it off the air after it failed to pay billions of dollars in fees. The takeover was expected after the station said last week that it could not pay the fees. The government announced yesterday that it would terminate iTVâs license after the deadline had passed for paying nearly $3 billion in fines, broadcasting license fees and interest. The governmentâs move was the latest in a series of decisions that have raised concern among investors and the public about the direction of Thailandâs leaders. Others include the imposition of capital controls and new restrictions placed on foreign ownership of Thai companies. A minister in the prime ministerâs office, told reporters the station would stop broadcasting today but could resume transmission as early as Friday if government officials could resolve legal issues for new ownership.

(InfoWorld) - Top executives from YouTube are due in Tokyo next week for talks with some of Japan's largest video content producers over copyrighted material available on the popular site. The meeting is due to take place Tuesday, just over two months after a group of Japanese content producersÂ sent a letter of complaintÂ to YouTube, urging the company to do more to keep copyrighted material off its service. YouTube CEO Chad Hurley and Chief Technology Officer Steve Chen are among those due at the talks, said a spokesman for the Japanese Society for Rights of Authors, Composers and Publishers (JASRAC). JASRAC sent the original complaint, which carried its signature along with that of 22 other companies and groups. Among the signatories were all of Japan's TV networks, the Motion Picture Producers' Association of Japan, the Recording Industry Association of Japan, and Yahoo Japan. The complainants are unhappy about the amount of their content available on YouTube. They demanded in the original letter that YouTube make it easier and quicker for content to be removed once it has been identified as violating copyright, and for the company to make it tougher for users to upload copyrighted material. YouTube respondedÂ to the complaint in mid-December and said they could visit Japan to discuss the issue. The letter indicated that YouTube is keen to work with the content providers because it is interested in starting a business in Japan, according to JASRAC. The December complaint followedÂ YouTube's deletionÂ of just under 30,000 files that violated the copyright of Japanese rights holders. The files were discovered during a five-day audit of YouTube in October. However, as soon as the files were deleted, new unauthorized content started appearing.
