Abstract

Regulation of the telecommunications and audiovisual sector is a legal, economic and even political necessity. While its exercise by an allegedly independent (administrative) authority is recognized by the Community institutions and all member states, its role and powers differ from country to country. From this point of view, Italy is an atypical case. The authority for guarantees in communication, Agcom, which was a result of Community demands, is the only structure (within the member states) that incorporates the principle of convergence. However, while this is, undeniably, a legal process and, above all, complies with the wishes of the Community, Agcom must face up to many criticisms and these once again give rise to a discussion of the role of the independent (administrative) authorities within the administration.
