One year after the start of the implementation of the incumbent Orange fiber optic on the town of Palaiseau, an initial assessment was made this Friday, October 25, 2013.
first French city 100% connected to the optical fiber via operator Orange will Palaiseau. High speed broadband will be effective in 2014. It is a year since the experiment began and Stephane Richard, CEO of Orange made an initial assessment turns out to be very positive. Consumers use more fiber optics to connect to the Internet, more than three times the speed ADSL, which shows that users are fond of very high speed. Orange’s goal is to remove copper in favor of fiber which is not easy for competitors of the incumbent did not see a very good eye to force the passage of the City Palaiseau at very high speed. Orange thought competitors would block its passage to the fiber. This is not the case, and Stéphane Richard has insisted that discussions were held with other operators and it’s going pretty well. To ensure timely transition to high speed, the Orange group worked in conjunction with competing operators and the ARCEP, the telecoms regulator in France to find a positive to all. The initial schedule is maintained and the CEO of Orange indicates that at present, 75% of those users subscribed to Orange Palaiseau are equipped with optical fiber. Professionals will be connected in whole, but not before one or two years says Delphine Ernotte, Executive Director of Orange France. Therefore the initial schedule Stéphane Richard can not be met, she says.
In the city of Grenoble, the first work of implementation of very high speed (THD) started there five years, and the entire city is now virtually connected to THD and 4G shows Stéphane Richard. Orange will still deploy fiber in small residences and pavilions. More than 104,000 homes already have currently. Deployment to neighboring towns is being finalized and Orange intends to expand further. The goal is to cover 27 towns around Grenoble by the end of 2020.
