The Platform of Regulators of the Audiovisual Sector emerged in the city of Santiago de Chile in 2010 due to the concern on the part of different instances in the matter of having strong regulators to face the challenges that convergence, digital and internet suppose and make up a platform that would allow to exchange experiences and resources, coordinate some actions and, above all, generate an academic and research floor that would contribute to regulatory decision-making.
Some main functions of the Platform are the following: to be a space for joint reflection on the regulation of television and other forms of audiovisual, to become a platform for the exchange of information on legal and regulatory aspects of common interest to all regulators, and to be configured as a space for discussion and solution of problems between regulatory entities.
For this task, experts in the field will meet in the Mexican capital to analyze the regulatory agenda in the face of digital convergence and new technologies from the perspective of media and audiovisual content.
