Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Posts

The National Regulatory Authority for Telecommunications and Posts (RegTP) was established on January 1, 1998 and was the supreme federal authority for telecommunications and telecommunications until it was renamed the Federal Network Agency in July 2005.

The Regulatory Authority provides information on the German telecommunications market, the legal basis and important consumer rights. Its responsibilities include the preparation of the frequency usage plan, telephone number administration, the setting of carrier and provider tariffing limits, the granting of licenses, and tasks under the Signature Act.
