US embassy cable - 04SANTODOMINGO1703

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

1. A special supplement March 12 in the HOY newspaper 
publishes for public comment (30 days) Resolution 029-04, a 
comprehensive set of regulations governing TV services and 
licensing of broadcasters.  Most of the supplement is very 
technical, but of note is Chapter 1, Article 2.1: (unofficial 
translation) "Television broadcasting services will be 
regulated insofar as concerns content, information, 
programming, advertising, copyright, intellectual property 
and other aspects of social communication, according to the 
norms of domestic law resulting from international treaties 
or agreements signed and ratified by the Dominican Republic." 
Text of the full draft resolution can be found on INDOTEL's 
website, www.indotel.org.do.
