SFR offers French govt pact for nationwide fibre coverage
2017-07-13 09:09:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) SFR has proposed its own plan to bring FTTP to France, potentially saving the government billions of euros. In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, SFR offered an alternative strategy, claiming that it can afford to bring fibre-to-the-premise connectivity to 80 percent of the country by 2022 and its entirety by 2025, without receiving any state aid. The fibre deployment would be carried out by a new subsidiary, Altice Infrastructures, which could become operational by September and would give competitors access to its network on a wholesale basis. The proposal follows a recent meeting organised by the minister for territorial cohesion, Jacques Mezard, to discuss with the country's main telecom players the future direction of the national broadband plan, which was approved by Francois Hollande and is now being reviewed under new French president Emmanuel Macron.
