WC broadcasts ‘were jammed from Jordan’

Mysterious jamming of TV broadcasts of the summer’s World Cup by the Arabic satellite channel Al Jazeera has been traced to Jordan, which appears to have retaliated angrily after the collapse of a deal that would have allowed football fans there free access to the matches.

I still remember how angry people were for not getting proper signals.
Now, is Al Jazeera still to be blamed? I still think a big broadcaster like Al Jazeera should have been well prepared to deal with something like this.

Sure, but they needed experts, and that's what is missing in Qatar almost everwhere.
