The president of the Brazilian Association of Radio and Television (Abert), Daniel Pimentel Slaviero considered a breakthrough for the inclusion of the Internet among the segments that will be achieved by the new law on pay TV, as proposed by the opinion of Mr Rego Vital Filho (PMDB -PB).
"The communication on the Internet. This is inevitable, "said Slaviero discussions on a range of 25. Brazilian Congress on Broadcasting, promoted by Abert, and is being held in Brasilia.
The replacement of the Rego Filho 29/2007 bill proposes new rules for the production of television programs and their various forms of distribution, whether by cable TV or conventional media such as phone and computer.
"This is a very sensitive issue. The rapporteur was brave to put this subject under discussion, "he said Slaviero. He said the transmission of audiovisual content over the Internet is possible to follow the same rules as other means of distribution of pay TV.
The president also praised Abert maintenance, in the opinion of Rego Filho, the constitutional limit of 30% for foreign equity ownership in companies that produce content, a percentage that is currently worth to newspapers, broadcasters and telecommunications companies.
Another important project, he said, is the obligation of the pay TV packages include the channels of broadcast TV and regional open. Slaviero said he saw no problems as to 50% for the participation of the producers of content - such as the television - the distribution companies.
Digital Radio
Opening the conference, yesterday, the Communications Minister Helio Costa said it has signed a decree opening the public consultation to discuss the digital radio standard that will be adopted in Brazil. The consultation, he said, will have 180 days to complete. Costa said it is necessary to define in 2009 on the subject.
Two models compete for the national market: the American and French HD Radio DRM. Costa said the European standard holders said they were willing to do testing of the system in the country
But some Brazilian radio broadcasters have tested last year the system used in the United States and, on occasion, were in favor of its use.
Voice of Brazil
The Abert should uphold their end of the Voice of Brazil's National Conference of Communication, to be held at the end of the year. The matter was also discussed yesterday during the congress. According to a director of Abert, Luis Roberto Antonik, there is no point in keeping the official program, as the government today can have access to the public by other means.
