Arcep, also known as the Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques, des Postes et de la Distribution de la Presse, is a state-owned agency headquartered in France. Founded in 1997, it operates with approximately 310 employees. Functioning as a government administration agency, Arcep is responsible for regulating telecommunications, postal services, and print media distribution within France, comparable to the United States' Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Arcep held a public consultation from July 10 to September 26, 2025, to gather stakeholder feedback on spectrum requirements in the 3.4 – 3.8 GHz band in Guiana and to guide the Authority’s future actions on frequency assignments in Mayotte and Guiana. Previously, on August 26, 2026, the telecom regulator published data indicating that France achieved 94.9% fiber-to-the-home network coverage by the end of March 2026, with 42.8 million premises across the country able to connect.
