A new digital portal in Bolivia is aimed at discussing rights to information and communication, according to a website about democratic governance supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
“Comunicación con Derechos,” (Communication with Rights), houses basic documents and proposals about telecommunications, community communication, and information technology in Bolivia. It also publishes Presidential decrees, laws and ordinances that deal with communication in Bolivia, and legal documents related to the topic in Chile, Argentina, the United States and Mexico, among others. The documents can be downloaded as PDF files.
In one of its first activities, the site transmitted on March 25 a workshop about analysis and discussion of Information Technology rules that includes themes such as free Internet in universities, the cost of ADSL in Bolivia and South America, and the consumer rights for information technology, among others.
The site also has a Facebook profile and a Twitter account to access debates via #DebateTIC.
