Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Legal Consultation in Bhutan

In the dynamic realm of Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT), Bhutan stands at a crucial crossroads, balancing rapid technological advancements with the preservation of cultural heritage and societal values. At Basnet Attorneys and Law, we specialize in providing comprehensive legal consultation tailored to the unique needs of Technology, Media, and Telecommunications enterprises operating within Bhutan's regulatory framework.

Understanding Bhutan's Regulatory Environment on Technology, Media and Telecommunications

Bhutan, renowned for its Gross National Happiness (GNH) index, adopts a cautious approach towards technology adoption to safeguard its cultural integrity and sovereignty. The regulatory landscape for Technology, Media, and Telecommunications sectors is primarily governed by the Bhutan Information, Communications and Media Act (BICMA), enacted to oversee telecommunications, broadcasting, and internet services. Compliance with BICMA ensures adherence to ethical standards, content regulation, and data privacy principles.
