Colombia. The Deputy Minister of Connectivity and Digitalization, Iván Antonio Mantilla, of the Ministry of Information and Communications Technologies, MinTIC, explained that for more than 10 years no community or commercial stations have been delivered in the national territory, which is why the Government has decided to move in this regard.
"When we arrived, we found 4,500 stagnant requests that had not been met. Today, Boyacá has 99 stations between commercial and community, and there are many more frequencies to award," said the official. In this regard, it was confirmed that the municipality of Tota will have a public interest station in 2019 to strengthen access to information by its population and promote its ecotourism agenda.
MinTIC also spoke of the delivery of Digital Television for All (DTT) in areas where there is still no coverage.
