2.5 Adequate competition legislation/regulation seeks
to prevent media concentration and monopolies.
There is no legislation in Tanzania that prohibits media concentration and
monopolies. The TCRA regulations do not cover the issue of multiple ownership,
although in terms of radio, there is a regulation stipulating the maximum number
of frequencies that one entity can own.

with Electronic and Postal Communications (Radio Communications and
Frequency Spectrum) provide for the following:
Community Radio
District Licence
Regional Licence
National Licence

- 1 frequency with a limited transmitter
- 1 license with slightly more radius of coverage
- 10 frequencies which you can use in half of the country
- 20 frequencies which you can use national wide

There is also no legislation relating to cross-ownership.
