(Telecompaper) The French competition authority has fined Altice/Numericable EUR 15 million for not complying with several obligations related to its sale of Outremer Telecom in La Reunion and Mayotte, a condition for its acquisition of SFR. The commitments included maintaining the viability, market value and competitiveness of Outremer prior to its sale.

SFR said it contests the authority's analysis and reserves the right to appeal.
