Arcep is participating in the Internet Governance Forum
This year the Internet Governance Forum, a vehicle for dialogue created under the aegis of the United Nations, will be held in Paris. It will be a unique opportunity for Arcep to contribute to discussions on the future of internet governance with all of the key stakeholders.
Rendez-vous on 12 to 14 November at Unesco in Paris!
What is the Internet Governance Forum?
The Internet Governance Forum is a forum for multi-stakeholder dialogue that was created officially by the United Nations Organization in 2006. It is open to all, and brings together representatives of federal governments, businesses, the technical community, civil society, etc.
The goal: to engage all of the stakeholders in a public and transparent dialogue on internet governance.
Why is Arcep taking part?
As the architect and guardian of communication networks in France, Arcep works to ensure that networks develop as a common good.
The focus will be on three of Arcep’s core priorities:
- Net neutrality
- 5G: the next generation of mobile networks
- Devices (smartphones, tablets, voice assistants) and the issue of internet openness
Arcep Chair, Sébastien Soriano; Arcep Executive Board member, Serge Abiteboul, and members of the Arcep team will lend their expertise to the debates and roundtables devoted to these issues that will shape our digital future.
