La régulation de l’économie numérique au Sénégal : la convergence des télécommunications et de l’audiovisuel
Establish a regulation of the digital economy in Senegal represents a fundamental challenge for governments and all the players. In a more globalized approach, huge changes to normative rationalities and mechanisms of regulation, that have evolved over time giving a more important place to the right policies of states. Different regulatory and institutional models are well suited to support the phenomenon of convergence depending on the country's regulatory environment.  Regarding the current context of Senegal, the model of regulations relating to telecommunications and audiovisual, now converging, are based on a sectorial regulatory model. However, convergence has led to a blurring of boundaries which could pose enormous consequences normatively as the risk of confusion on the institutional or regulatory level. But nationally, there is to date no policy to sit the foundations of a convergent regulation.  There for, the question of whether sector regulation is relevant to the digital environment characterized by convergence. It turned out that it could be adopted as a short term model. But in order to achieve economies of scale to effectively regulate the different infrastructures and sectors requires a single regulatory model marked by the merger of ARTP and CNRA. Maintaining sector regulation will allow currying the transition to digital that already started and also the multispectral regulatory convergence will established converging markets.
