Argentina. The Board of Directors of the National Communications Agency, Enacom, approved the transformation of 8 Precarious and Provisional Permits (PPP) into definitive licenses for FM radios, in addition to the 23 previously approved by the Agency.
This resolution, signed at the recent meeting of the Board of Directors of Enacom, acquires great relevance because for thirty years the situation of FM stations has not been normalized in the country and is part of the Regularization Plan promoted by the Entity, which also includes the opening of simplified tenders in different regions of the country.
