The government aims to update the $6 a year license for concessionaires of radio and television frequencies which has been in effect since 1954, while employers fear a reallocation of spectrum.
The draft bill proposes an increase in the rates for radio and television based on the number of frequencies held by the concessionaire, the type of coverage, the use to be given and the type of diffusion, national or rural.
Up until December 26th public consultation will be carried out on the national telecommunications plan 2015-2021 proposed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Telecommunications.
From a statement issued by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Telecommunications (MICITT):
The Ministry of Science, Technology and Telecommunications (MICITT), pursuant to the provisions of the regulations governing the telecommunications sector, reports that the proposed National Development Telecommunications Plan 2015-2021 (PNDT) is under Public Consultation.
