Telecommunications in Guyana include radio, television, fixed and mobile telephones, and the Internet. == Radio == * Broadcast stations: government-dominated; the state owns and operates two radio stations broadcasting on multiple frequencies capable of reaching the entire country; government limits on licensing of new private radio stations continue to constrain competition (2007).〔("Guyana Communications" ), ''World Factbook'', U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 4 December 2013. Retrieved 2 January 2014.〕 * Licenses and competition: In 2009 the Court of Appeal ruled that the government had an unlawful monopoly on the airwaves and was not adequately considering radio license applications. In 2011 the government approved applications for ten new radio stations, although the process was controversial and lacked transparency. By year’s end 2012 only one new station had begun operations, and it was closely aligned with the government.〔 * Press freedom: The government controls most radio stations, which limits the dissemination of diverse views and open public discussion. The NGO Reporters Without Borders criticized press freedom in the country in 2012, due largely to its radio broadcasting monopolies.〔 * Radios: 420,000 sets (1997). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Telecommunications in Guyana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
