PARIS -- France's telecommunications monitor Arcep said Tuesday it had asked prosecutors to launch a probe into Microsoft subsidiary Skype for failing to register as a telecommunications firm despite several reminders.

Under French law, a telecommunications operator does not need administrative authorisation but only has to make a “prior declaration,” Arcep said. However failure to comply with the law is a criminal offence.

Arcep said it had asked Skype to declare itself “an electronic communications operator” but it had failed to do so.
