1 million in moderately dense and little dense areas

The cable operator did not wait the official launch of the national program very high throughput, last Monday, to deploy fiber to the building, although so far he has kept its coaxial network buildings, instead of complete fiber links. For its General Secretary, Jérôme Yomtov, Numericable strategic choices are in line with the scheme envisaged by the Government: local tenders, partnerships with communities, opening of the third-party operators, rates social networks...

Where are you in your plans for deployment of very high flow up to the Subscriber

We have already installed 4.2 million of catch, including 1.1 million in moderately dense and little dense areas. This makes the France the leader of fiber optics in Europe, mainly with Numericable. We won contracts in le Havre, Sarreguemines, at Epinal, in Hauts-de-Seine and the Rhône. And we are discussing currently with over 50 local authorities, usually the metropolitan or department level, to implement new public-private partnerships. It seems to us that this co-investment scheme is the best way to avoid shadow areas in coverage very high throughput of the territory. More than a year after the launch of our offer very high throughput, we announced in September last has subscribers out of a total of France 255.000 all operators combined.

Will the launch of the national programme for the high flow change something for Numericable

It is a good thing that the authorities take the subject. This will allow to accelerate discussions with the local communities, since projects in moderately dense and little dense areas will benefit from a Government label and, especially, of public financing. For very dense areas, now that the rule is established, we will power deploy fiber optic vertically in buildings and a large offer to other operators. We have already signed agreements with Trustees, Foncia in September, and then, last week, Loiselet. Remains to obtain the approval of the General meetings of each of the condominiums. And then, I announce it to you: we have just concluded an agreement with the real estate owner Gecina to install 11,000 taken optical fibre in the Paris region and provide the digital antenna service to residents.

You have recently won a contract for fibrecoating Hauts-de-Seine Department, with a grant of EUR 59 million to EUR 420 million. Definition a posteriori of a regulatory framework does not call into question your choice

The regulatory framework is fully compatible with the project of the Hauts-de-Seine, which has been validated by the European Commission. Everyone could respond to this call for tenders, that we won combining SFR and Eiffage. We can cover all the communes of the Department, including the little dense areas, and open network for all operators. Ultimately, the Government chose a close pattern that we use for two years: local tenders and investment sharing.

Your competitor Iliad revealed that its triple play Alice to 19.99 euros marketed since December did not meet a great success. And your package to 19,90 euros

We are very satisfied with the launch. This provides very high speed is only marketed on our website and we have to extend it to a decade of e-commerce sites. It allows us to conquer new customers. Perhaps our competitors suffer from shortness of breath of ADSL, which grows more than 9 per year, compared to 80 for the very high throughput.

François Fillon requested the establishment of a tariff social for the "triple play". Will you be candidates

We think very seriously about to propose a social tariff, and, why not, at a price lower than the 20 euros in question, since we already have a "triple play" to 19,90 euros. We offer for example 14,90 euros if the social compensation was 5 euros. We have expertise in this area, since we launched our "digital single" more than a year ago. Implemented in social landlords, it already has more than 250,000 homes. For 4 euros per month, you are entitled to a connection throughput to 2 megabits per second to a bouquet of a quarantine of television including free DTT channels, and you can receive phone calls.
