Art. 7 of Act No. 26.092 stipulates that 98% of the shareholding in the Argentine Company of Satellite Solutions (ARSAT) shall be allocated to the Ministry of Federal Planning, Public Investment and Services, while the remaining 2% shall correspond to the Ministry of Economy and Production. Pursuant to Art. 7 of the Annex, Class A shares shall be held by the national government, and these shares may not be transferred except with the authorisation of a statute enacted by Congress, as they embody the State’s controlling interest. Consequently, 51% of the shares are designated as Class A and are State-owned, whereas the remainder could, in principle, be admitted to public trading. Reports indicate that ARSAT intends to undertake a public offering of shares to divest 49% of the company’s equity to the private sector; however, as of 2025, this has not yet materialised.

Venezuela’s new laws, resolutions, decrees, government appointments, and other official data are published in the Official Gazette. It is reported that the Gazette does not publish anything similar to notices of proposed rulemaking, so there is no regular official mechanism for inviting comments on proposed changes to technical regulations. The Gazette also does not publish new technical regulations. The full contents of a new technical regulation must be obtained directly from the government agency that created it. The same holds true for new standards themselves, available only by request from either the FONDONORMA (a private non-profit association) or SENCAMER (a body of the Ministry of Commerce). The relationship between the two bodies has deteriorated in the past few years, which has led to confusion and a lack of a normative standards regime.

Resolution No. 253 lists the foreign entities or organisations recognised by the National Telecommunications Commission (CONATEL) for the homologation and certification of telecommunications equipment: (European Union, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States, Industry Canada of Canada, Agencia Nacional de Telecomunicações (ANATEL) of Brazil, Comisión Federal de Telecomunicaciones (COFETEL) of Mexico, and the Comisión Nacional de Comunicaciones (CNC) of Argentina) (Art. 3). CONATEL is limited to administrative homologation based on the acceptance of the homologation certificates of the aforementioned entities.
On the other hand, Art. 4 establishes that certification bodies or organisations that issue certificates or declarations of conformity, approval or homologation on behalf or by authorisation of the approval bodies or organisations indicated in the previous article, either by designation or by Mutual Recognition Agreements, shall also be considered as recognised.

This is below the 200 USD threshold recommended by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC).

Art. 14 of the Constitutional Law Against Hate for Peaceful Coexistence and Tolerance prohibits the dissemination of messages via social networks and electronic media that promote war or incite hatred based on national, racial, ethnic, religious, political, social, ideological, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, or any other form of discrimination, intolerance, or violence. As a result, entities managing social networks and electronic media are required to adhere strictly to this provision, taking appropriate measures to prevent the dissemination of such content. They must promptly remove any propaganda or message that contravenes this law.
Art. 22 of the law specifies that intermediaries who fail to remove messages containing war propaganda or promoting hate speech within six hours of dissemination will face sanctions ranging from 50,000 to 100,000 Tax Units (approx. USD 1,800 to USD 3,600, based on the December 2022 exchange rate published by the Venezuelan Central Bank, subject to change). In addition to criminal and civil liabilities, portals disseminating such messages may be blocked. This provision may be interpreted as imposing a monitoring obligation on intermediaries.
