They are governed by the competition law (Law No. 2005-020 of 17 October 2005).26 The Communication Code provides that ANRCM is in charge of the regulation of the sector. Article 51 new: An independent administrative authority is hereby established, called the National Authority for the Regulation of Media Communication, in short ANRCM. However, there are no specific details on how this regulation should be implemented. This failure to specify, the Act leaves a great deal of latitude for the regulator, which has not yet been put in place.
