Abstract
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.
