Claiming it is the optimal mechanism to preserve diversity and plurality as to information, the joint judge of the Supreme Court of Justice of Colombia, Guillermo Puyana, suggested granting broadcasting licenses through public biddings.

His proposal came following his speech at an international seminar taking place in Caracas called "Freedom of Expression in Democratic Societies."
 
When asked about President Hugo Chávez Government's threat not to renew a broadcasting license for private TV network RCTV, Puyana conceded the State has the capacity to renew licenses or not. However, he suggested that radiofrequencies should be subject to transparent and equitable biddings.

"Regarding the issue of RCTV, if I was in a position to choose, I would rather open a bidding process (on the broadcasting license), in order to preserve information diversity."
