One of the columnists in the government, in Página/12, announces that despite the legal obstacles to the Media Law is unquestioned starting to see the results of the rule "(Washington Uranga, 25 / 4). Throughout the article does not mention a single example of how this result can be seen on the screen.
were prophetic words of Jorge Capitanich, governor of Chaco and board member of the Federal Authority for Audiovisual Communication Services (AFSCA), who had said almost a year ago that "all law is applicable, except Articles 42 and 161 "(Enciclomedia, 30/06/2010). These two articles are those requiring the release of licenses by multimedia.
timely As noted in these pages, the articles of the law itself as "the democratization of the radio spectrum (frequency division into three parts, one for the State, for market and another for non-profit organizations) is a salute to the flag, they first need the application of Article 161 and, secondly, because it ensures the financial sustainability of the third non-profit, and because if such licenses give them to the bureaucracies of the guilds, for example, is the same voice as that of the State.
The main impediment to the implementation of Article 161 is Kirchner himself, in 2005, with Decree 527, suspended the licenses expired monopoly for ten years, the main argument of Justice for not implementing the des- monopolization. "How come to get us out licenses for six years if we gave them?" retobar are content companies.
Ultimately, the implementation of the Media Law and with it the democratization of the message is largely absent in the official media policy. The ruling has even developed, with Brazilian and Japanese capital, the proposed digital terrestrial television (DTT), licensing without competition, to compensate for some future that sees the "expanded media proposals" from the law.
What is present and it is no spectrum is the current conflict with Telefé workers (100 people have been laid off and the rest were stripped of their entitlement to overtime), the acquisition of Chronic TV by the Group Olmos (connected to the bureaucracy of the UOM) and, above all, the hegemonic position of the telecoms group. In other words even intellectuals sympathetic to the government and the law: "The Ministry of Communications, Secom and CNC were, are and remain absolutely co-opted by the major operators, which are, today, Telefónica of Spain and Telmex, ie, Claro and Telefonica-Telecom "(Martin Becerra, 21 / 3, plazademayo.com).
