Consultation: Revision of the Regulation of Amateur Radio Services
The Public Consultation for the revision of the Amateur Radio service regulations was a digital consultation process initiated in 2019 by the Communications Services Regulatory Unit (span. URSEC), a decentralized office of the Uruguayan government in charge of telecommunications and postal operations. Through this consultation, the URSEC invited the public to dialogue on the occasion of introducing reforms to the current regulations for the activities of radio amateurs. To this end, a web platform was launched for online consultations, where the text of the bill proposal could be directly accessed along with comments and indications from the authorities on the reasons behind the proposal. Citizens were able to use this platform to comment directly on the articles of the reform proposal. These comments were subsequently collected and were attached to the processing file for the bill reform.
