At the initiative of ARCEP, the decline in unbundling tariffs set for 1 January 2012 should benefit as alternative operators Free and SFR. It's a financial loss to France Telecom - Orange.
ARCEP consider a drop of about 10% flat rate (9 euros) which carry the alternative operators for each opening of fully unbundled lines.
According to La Tribune, it would apply from 1 January.
But at about 50 cents off for each of the 8.3 million lines in question is a shortfall estimated at 50 million euros for France Telecom - Orange.
SFR and Iliad-Free, which will convene under the auspices of their respective packages, nearly 5 million customers, the company would derive from the whopping 20 million euros ... and a bit more independence vis-à- vis the incumbent.
Arriving late, Bouygues Telecom, which has one million broadband subscribers, would necessarily back in the debates.
Nevertheless remain dependent on contingent ISPs, the cost of line rental, France Telecom otherwise retaining ownership of the local loop, as explained Silicon.fr.
One way to compensate financially, the defection of customers, following the market opening to competition.
Especially with the unbundling, the user connected to the infrastructure only party with whom it deals, and provided a phone service schedule, n'entretient more related to the incumbent.
Can you imagine a switch investments? By lowering the price of unbundled lines, the regulatory authority for electronic communications and postal services may hope that alternative operators will increase their efforts on the deployment of fiber optics.
The investment required to build this network is astronomical (over 21 billion euros according to the latest updated estimate of ARCEP), the pooling of equipment is the preferred medium density areas.
