Paris, 5 March 1998

Just one year after its creation, the French Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (ART) is pleased to announce the launch of its Web site.

 

  • ART's remit, under the 1996 Telecommunications Act, includes informing players on the opening up of the French telecommunications market to competition.
  • The site plays an integral part in the Government's action programme to prepare France for the information age.

 

  • To show the work undertaken by ART, and by actively building links with other sites, to provide information on the telecommunications sector in general, in France and abroad.
  • To boost and facilitate external communication (by e-mail, mailing lists, news groups...) .

 

  • The telecommunications industry as a whole: operators, manufacturers, business unions, businesses, administrations, local councils, regulators, universities and telecommunications colleges, consultants, analysts, lawyers, journalists, libraries and documentation centres, etc. - both in France and abroad.
