Scorecard of data-driven regulation actions

The press conference will also be an opportunity to present the 2020 scorecard on mobile quality of service, as well as the new coverage maps produced in the wake of the new 98% reliability threshold that Arcep has demanded from mobile operators (open to journalists).
