Free announces that he will "halve" the price of 4G - Le Figaro

While it is not yet present in the networks of mobile broadband, Free promises to be launching a new tariff war.

“We will start by re-divide by two market prices” in 4G. The words of Xavier Niel, the boss of the Completely Free Inquiry magazine Thursday there were no uncertain. “That person is worried they (competitors) allowed to increase their prices quietly into believing that it is possible and it happens,” he warns.

three competitors Free, Bouygues Telecom, Orange, SFR, have all launched bids in 4G, with promotions for the launch. At January 1, most tariffs currently displayed should be revised upwards to at least five euros. A good way to get consumers interested in subscribing.

the way, Xavier Niel does not hesitate to attack the quality of mobile broadband networks of its competitors, saying “it works on the outside but not in buildings” to temporize. “It’s normal, it’s the beginning,” he said.

What annoy stakeholders, who have already launched their bids 4G, mobile broadband internet, and invested over € 2.5 billion in the development of the new technology. To his critics, who denounce the lack of investment made by Free, Xavier Niel replies that “one model is to deploy a network.”

new pricing offensive Free would certainly a good deal for consumers, provided that the quality of service is up to par. This week, Free became pinned by UFC Que Choisir who calls it “red lantern” for his services in 3G. The operator did not fail to challenge these conclusions.
