An order just to SFR … We know that for several months, competition in general and in particular Orange accuses the operator to red square to use the term in its communication optical fiber while the fiber is not drawn to the home. This is the famous battle between “true fiber” and “false fiber” between FTTH (fiber to the home) and FTTB (fiber to the building).
And the pressure Orange with the state that is also its largest shareholder has paid off. From June 1, “Any advertisement or commercial document a supplier of
services on offer using technology for which the
speed does not vary significantly depending on the characteristics of the
connecting consumers to the fixed network open to the public, if
associates the term “fiber” the supplier’s services while
connection of the end customer into its housing is not realized
optical fiber, contains the words “(except connecting from home).”
This statement is given after each use of the term “fiber”
or the term “optical fiber” associated with services
supplier, in conditions of audibility and clarity at least
equal, especially in terms of volume, character size and
“.
The formalization of” color this decree SFR “annoys the operator even if he said he was” serene “An SFR spokesman tells ZDNet.fr.” This is a stop
inapplicable and technologically inadmissible. We just remember that SFR
deploys FTTB as well as FTTH, how do we do to
communicate ? This type of differentiation applies anywhere
Moreover, it is a very French debate … “
He continued” We especially feel that this decree aimed at us
weakening comes from intense lobbying organized by the government on the initiative of our competitors and especially with Orange
Bercy “Serene but offensive.” we will challenge this order in court, we will use all legal remedies and we will not change our speech. we are leaders on the fiber “and SFR did not actually soon do know …
“cable or fiber: they are
of the
debates of the past. “” I do not understand this debate, which is laughable and there,
I insist on it, as in France. Customers want the best throughput
and quality is what we offer. We offer the best
optical fiber, for FTTC fiber to the customer, not for
Press Releases. The plan high speed broadband will be a success thanks to
SFR, everyone can judge by, this is not a posture, “recently assénait Michel Combes, CEO of SFR.
For specialists, the FTTB is however very different FTTH particularly in terms upload. But the operator insists on the margins of development of its technology, especially for the upstream.
the war is far from over and will continue in the courts. But opponents of SFR (Orange and Free) have a powerful ally: the ARCEP, the telecoms regulator Sébastien Soriano, president.
Authority indicated there is little: “I wonder about the fact that some
operators can use the fiber word very freely, without
there are clear rules of the game are asked. We have done
the choice not to use the term fiber coaxial we prefer
now the term coaxial cable. “
This Friday it welcomed the order.” The decree will give consumers better information on available offers on the market and their characteristics before and after subscription. The Authority noted with satisfaction that the draft decree was modified from the version that was submitted to him, in particular to take into account the comments it made in its opinion on the need to strengthen information on amounts rates, given the growing importance of symmetrical uses. The Authority welcomes the willingness of the Government to enlighten the choices of users, and thus contribute to build trust and transparency that are essential to accompany the investment cycle in networks very high speed. “
