In these hearings, citizens and representatives of civil society organizations and the private sector presented their perspectives on the draft Audiovisual Communication Services Law. Some of the issues addressed by the law were minimum broadcasting levels of national content, limitations to prevent monopolistic and oligopolistic media concentration, promotion of community media and regulations regarding commercial advertising.
