This is a "fournisseur de services de communications pour le public en ligne". Is there a corresponding acronym in English or do I just translate it as it stands (on-line communications service provider for the public)? Just want to get it right. Many thanks

You haven't given any context, but a literal translation works perfectly well. The fact that they've used an acronym in French doesn't mean you have to find an equivalent in English.

Comment: "Very elegant and translation-true - many thanks. Re acronym, I know, obviously, but just wondered if there was one."

Online service provider
An ISP is an "Internet service provider" but you seem to need something broader.

: I think this is too broad. For example, Expedia is an online service provider, but it doesn't provide communications services.
