The Administration of the Broadcasting of Audio-visual Programmes on the Internet and other Information Networks Procedures (the Procedures) were issued by the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television (SARFT), and came into effect on February 10 2003. SARFT, as its name suggests, is responsible for formulating policies and regulations for radio, film, and television broadcasting such as cable, satellite or other forms such as the Internet. In the new Procedures, SARFT has enunciated its licensing requirements for parties who wish to provide audio or video programmes over the Internet. The Procedures broadly mirror the regime governing traditional broadcast media.
