Thank you Fred! I read cde Kiraz' article. It was interesting. However, I find it a bit difficult to fully understand this issue without an available copy of the actual law - the Telecommunications Law. According to Human Rights Watch it is a crime to disseminate news that "harms the interest of the state": http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2009/07/31/venezuela-repeal-measures-aimed-critics True or not true? I do not automatically trust info from HRW, so I would like to see for myself. /Adam

A quick note though, no new law on media has been passed, instead the old one is being implemented. The radio stations were "shut down" in the same way that drug labs get "shut down" - they were operating illegally on state regulated frequencies.
