It should be remembered that until the 1980s, the understanding of scholars of that institution privileged the concentration of power around a strong and authoritarian state. As a result, they did not accept the fragmentation of the National Telecommunications System as a decisive element in mobilizing the country and expressing its sovereignty. |
