An audio-visual advice with future

Again the delay. This country takes time ignoring the international regulations on the television. Result: bar free for the chains with frequent violations of the rules on minors' protection, publicity, public service or fulfillment of schedules. The political control dominates the public televisions and the parties weave his alliances with the proprietors of the chains. Now, when the new audio-visual law proposes a State Council of Audio-visual Means, we run the risk of administering the past again with a proposal foreign to Internet, the telecommunications and the preference of the citizens to the offers of bundles of wide and mobile band.
The television of the future is the multiplication of channels and the offer for wide, fixed and mobile band. A regulation of the television foreign to the convergence and his effects in the companies and the public is not realistic. It is not possible to regulate the television of the waves and the governmental licenses, which hearing and market loses, and to leave aside the cable, the television under demand, for Internet and in the mobile.
That's why many defend a visual authority integrated with the Commission of the Market of the Telecommunications. And in real coordination with the already existing autonomic advices (Catalonia, Navarre, Andalusia) and those that will be created in the future, as in Germany, for example.
An audio-visual authority with independent members chosen by the Parliament, the industry and the social organizations. With economic autonomy guaranteed with the valuations on the audio-visual platforms, without dependency on governmental budgets.
The proposal of the Government neither guarantees the independence nor fixes with clarity the functions, as it demands Europe. The confusion is such that the minister of Industry, Miguel Sebastián, answers to the support of the PP of a convergent advice affirming that the competitions coincide with those of the department and his resources will be transferred. The governmental heredity condemns the new authority.
