Mozambique Technology Co. since the release of funds agreed in the contract with the Mozambican government is subject to a process that depends on other factors. These funds will be allocated in the framework of bilateral credit agreements between the Government of the Republic of China and the Mozambican state. The EXIM Bank of China is the institution responsible for financing the building of the network for digital migration in Mozambique. The contract was signed awarding the digital migration process to StarTimes Corporation, Co, the three public companies, Televisão de Moçambique, Rádio Moçambique and Telecomunicações de Moçambique created the Transport, Multiplexing and Transmission company, TMT, which will be responsible for the transport and transmission of the digital television signal. After the announcement of an initial delay in the implementation of digital terrestrial television, scheduled for June 2015, lack of financial and technical conditions meant that the process was again delayed until 2016. The digital migration project in Mozambique was launched in December 2015, enabling the transition from analogue to digital television signal. The pilot project began with the installation of 18 television transmitters in the capitals of the provinces of Sofala and Nampula and will terminate in 2016 with the installation of transmitters in the other provincial capitals and 8 border towns: Ponta do Ouro, Ressano Garcia, Vila de Manica, Ulóngue, Zóbue, Milange, Namaacha and Madimba. To discuss the issue of migration from analogue to digital radio and television, professional organisations related to the media held debates and conferences, where criticism was levelled at the way the process was being conducted. At issue is the fact that the project is being implemented without any public tender awarded to the company StarTimes Software Technology Co, a company in which the former head of state Armando Guebuza has direct economic interests. In 2012, a study conducted by IBIS Mozambique warned about, among various issues, the exclusion and secrecy with which the Government was driving the digital migration process. The study was presented and discussed first in Maputo and then in all the provincial capitals of the country. It was also distributed by public bodies, but by the looks of it noone showed any interest in the danger that was being announced. In general, there is much scepticism and general insecurity over whether the country will succeed in completing the transition until 2016, given the absence of visible progress in mobilising financing, installing network infrastructure, procurement, purchasing of equipment, technical tests, and especially the establishment of the public company of digital signal transmission and distribution, which will, in practice, control on the ground the whole process of digital signal distribution. Strangely, private radio and television operators, which are the majority in the country, will be excluded from the process. Conclusion The exercise of Freedom of Expression and of the Press in Mozambique has made great gains since the approval of the Press Law 91 of August 10. One of the concerns among professional organisations in the media and civil society are the focus of these violations of freedoms. Another concern is the absence of the Broadcasting Law to regulate the So This is Democracy? 2015 49
