• Resumen

  • On 17 April 2015, the Spanish Government approved the rules which will govern the process to grant six new DTT nation-wide licenses according to a “beauty contest” scheme. The rules establish the criteria according to which three standards plus three high definition frequencies will be assigned. These criteria include different parameters, such as technical and economic elements, content proposal, corporate strategy and promotion of pluralism and diversity. Despite Spain having recently established an independent regulatory authority with some competences in - among several other fields - the audiovisual sector, the final decision will be in the hands of the Government.
