3.3 The body, which regulates broadcasting services
and licences, does so in the public interest and ensures
fairness and a diversity of views broadly representing
society at large.
Laws are not clear regarding the organism which manages radio frequencies.
This task is shared between the National Agency of Digital Infrastructure and
Frequencies (ANINF), CNC, and sometimes the Ministry of Communication.
Created two years ago, the ANINF is considered as a technical CNC partner. In
addition, the conditions for the allocation of frequencies are not very clear and
often remain at the discretion of the Minister of Communication. This confusing
environment, limits equitable access to frequencies. A panellist claims that the
criteria are very subjective and do not take diversity into account. He provides
the example of a former Minister of Communication and Secretary General of
the Presidency who has been waiting for the allocation of a frequency for over
5 years.
