ARCEP

ARCEP (Autorité de régulation des communications électroniques, des postes et de la distribution de la presse) is France’s independent regulatory authority for electronic communications, postal services, and press distribution. Its role is to ensure fair competition, set rules, and oversee the quality and prices of services like mobile, internet, and postal delivery. ARCEP works to protect consumer interests, foster innovation, and ensure that communication networks are accessible and reliable. Think of it as a referee or watchdog that makes sure telecom and postal companies follow fair practices for the benefit of users and the market.
