It is the transition or switch from analogue broadcasting to digital broadcasting; 2. Most Southern Afr

However, some countries are struggling due to financial constraints and a lack of urgency to comply with ITU and SADC guidelines; 3. Digital broadcasting has improved signals and technical picture quality. It affords audio descriptions for the visually impaired. This group was previously uncatered for as analogue could only provide sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing; 4. Subsidizing STBs is also a clear indication of the political will of some governments in the region to ensure that citizens enjoy the full benefits of digital migration and its inherent spin-offs, which include access to information."

políticas públicas y en la defensa y promoción de los derechos humanos. No se debe dejar de lado que las políticas públicas sobre las TIC también inciden sobre el sistema de medios, sobre todo cuando hablamos de la transición del sistema analógico a la digitalización de la radio y la televisión. Este proceso de digitalización tiene que ver directamente con el goce y disfrute de los derechos humanos y no solo con los intereses del mercado. Por ello, urge que los Estados centroamericanos formulen políticas públicas en materia TIC, basadas en principios de equidad, inclusión y de respeto a los derechos humanos, buscando que estas garanticen la pluralidad de voces y abran caminos para el respeto al derecho a la comunicación de la población. Para contribuir a este debate regional hemos desarrollado durante varios meses una investigación diagnóstica sobre los marcos jurídicos y políticas públicas que regulan el derecho humano a la comunicación en el entorno digital, que forma parte del proyecto “Articulación e incidencia ciudadana por el derecho Humano a la comunicación en Centroamérica”. Buscamos con este valioso insumo aportar a la reflexión, el debate y labor de incidencia del movimiento social para plantear la necesidad de generar políticas públicas para el acceso, uso y apropiación de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación, así como analizar y cuestionar el ya iniciado proceso de digitalización de la televisión abierta terrestre en cuatro países de la región: El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras y Nicaragua."

zens have access to a cornucopia of news and information sources. Other findings were less foreseeable: digitization has brought no pressure to reform state broadcasters, less than one-third of countries found that digital media have helped to expand the social impact of investigative journalism, and digitization has not significantly affected total news diversity. The Global Findings reveal other common themes across the world: Governments and politicians have too much influence over who owns, operates, and regulates the media. Many media markets are rife with monopolistic, corrupt, or untransparent practices. It’s not clear where many governments and other bodies get their evidence for changes or updates to laws and policies on media and communication. Media and journalism online offer hope of new, independent sources of information, but are also a new battleground for censorship and surveillance. Data about the media worldwide are still uneven, unstandardized, and unreliable, and are often proprietary rather than freely accessible." (Website Open Society Foundations)

in higher quality and greater content diversity. The methodology used here consists of a structural historical analysis of communication policies with an emphasis on digital switchover, paying special attention to the social power relations that have led to the current structural conditions of the concentrated Mexican communications system. Overall, preliminary results obtained in this research show a lack of clarity in DTT policies of the last two administrations (Vicente Fox 2000-2006 and Felipe Calderón 2006-2012) and a reinforced hegemony of the economically dominant broadcast and telecommunications actors: Televisa, TV Azteca and Telmex, in detriment to public service, competition, local TV stations, independent production, content quality and audiences in a broader sense."

"The advent of digital television has accelerated the elaboration of regulation and related processes in the countries of the region. Some countries adopted changes in their broadcasting statutes (Ukraine in 2006; Armenia in 2008 and 2010; Kazakhstan in 2012) or their mass media statute (Russia in 2
