Analysis: Reality shows that diversity is not promoted through clear rules of competition and adequate laws, as is the case with those against monopoly. The “Independent Society of Communication” (SOICO), proprietor of Stv, of Sfm, of FamaMagazine and the weekly publication “O País” (The Country), is a commendable case of this situation. Stv, not being able to acquire a licence for the whole country, which is legally the monopoly of the public broadcasters (RM e TVM), it eventually requested separate licences for each one of the provinces, ending up with repeater stations throughout the country, with some exceptions. There is no proof that such situation could promote diversity. On the other hand SOICO “is in all” because there is no anti monopoly law. It operates in the television, radio and print media.

Analysis: As far as the political environment is concerned, the situation is good. But economically the government does very little or nothing to promote media diversity. That can be explained by the fact that Mozambique is a country in transition towards a multiparty and liberal democracy.
