ARCEP

The Autorité de Régulation des Communications Électroniques, des Postes et de la Distribution de la Presse is the French regulatory authority in charge of regulating telecommunications, postal services and print media distribution in France. It can be compared somewhat with the United States' Federal Communications Commission (FCC), though regulation of the radio spectrum falls to the Agence nationale des fréquences, and regulation of audiovisual and digital communication falls to the Autorité de régulation de la communication audiovisuelle et numérique since the merger on 1 January 2022 of the former Conseil supérieur de l'audiovisuel and the former Haute Autorité pour la diffusion des œuvres et la protection des droits sur internet. The ARCEP has its head office in 14 rue Gerty Archimède in Bercy, Paris, France.
