As you are aware the Government of Vanuatu (GoV) recently reviewed the operations of the Vanuatu Broadcasting and Television Corporation (VBTC) and in particular the role of VBTC in regulating the broadcast industry. To facilitate this change the GoV, amended both the Broadcasting Act and the Telecommunications and Radiocommunications Regulation Act during the last session of parliament in July 2018.
This amendment created the Telecommunications, Radiocommunications and Broadcasting Regulations Act 30 2009 as amended by Amendment 22 2018. The amendment now provides for the TRBR to regulate the Telecommunications and Broadcasting industry.
