Summary:
This research seeks to diagnose the current situation of the implementation of DTT in Bolivia, its effects, challenges, and perspectives from a technical-regulatory perspective and audiovisual content production. In addition, it will be a study on the current situation of the radio spectrum in UHF frequencies, their perspectives of use before the implementation of DTT and a description of the possible impact of the transition from an analog to a digital technology. Finally, the project seeks to determine if there will be changes in the logic of television production, in the content design, in the ways of distribution of Bolivian audiovisual material and to evaluate the impact of a new media law that regulates contents broadcasted through DTT.
