Digital Content Industry is on the agenda of discussions of the 28 countries participating in the Information Society in Latin America and Caribbean and since March 2010 the theme was included in the Letter of Recommendation from governments in Latin America and the Caribbean and EU governments for Information Society and Knowledge.
