About this statute

This is the preamble of Law 1978 of 2019, which states that it modernizes the information and communications technology (ICT) sector, distributes competences, creates a single regulator, and issues other provisions. This provision states the law’s purpose: to align incentives in the TIC sector, modernize and simplify the institutional framework, focus investment on closing the digital divide, encourage private-sector participation in related projects, and improve efficiency in paying sector charges. This provision says postal service, radio broadcasting, and open broadcast television keep following their special rules, and it treats television network/service provision as including television service. This provision requires the State, telecom sector actors, and telecom providers to promote non-discriminatory access to TIC, expand digital inclusion, support public content, and ensure telecom service and infrastructure deployment. The provision updates policy goals and states that telecom network and service providers must be legally and financially responsible for damage they cause to infrastructure.
