“It is quite usual to hear him say that the telecoms operators to cover bad territory. It is quite unfair to say that nothing is being done”. The offer launched this morning with much fanfare from Neuville le Poitou (Read Bouygues Telecom generalizes its 4G Box for fixed ultra-fast broadband) by Olivier Roussat, CEO, therefore, must silence the critics, starting with the regulator.
That everyone is reassured, the 4G Box is a little smaller.
This 4G Box dedicated to the French fields allows you to use the speed of the 4G to make the fixed Internet, with no fair use (as opposed to a roller 4G). It is not transportable, being locked on the 4G antennas that cover the domicile of the subscriber (Bouygues Mobile promises a 10% discount for its clients on the fixed Internet). An offer that companies could adopt, provided, however, to have no more than 32 connections maximum to be performed on the machine.
Bouygues says that 5 million households will be eligible for his bid next Monday, the date of marketing. They should be 10 million at the beginning of march next. “The progress of the 4G network does not occur in the areas with the most urban of the territory. The massive investments are in sparsely populated areas,” explains Olivier Roussat.
Attractiveness of the common
what To anticipate the arrival of fibre-optics in areas largely ignored to this day by this technology. If the department of the Vienne (where is Neuville le Poitou) has declared a budget of 52 million euros (including 15 million of local funding) to deploy fiber, with the exception of Poitiers and Châtellerault, two towns already equipped, Séverine Saint Pé, the young mayor of the town, impatient.
here it is here it is. Back.
“If all goes well, the fiber is expected to arrive home in 2019. But it is very complicated to balance the budget,” sighs she. In the meantime, the use of 4G for fixed Internet should bearing a DSL declining. “It is not necessary to add no more,” says the mayor. “Nobody sends me a petition in the town to demand the THD. But it is important for the attractiveness of the town”.
Especially if the VDSL offers 30 Mb/s to two not of the traditional town hall Third Republic, two streets later, outdatedness of the network requires, the throughput drops considerably. “This who complain about this are those who are not in the town center” notes the municipal official.
Neuville de Poitou, 5400 inhabitants, 15 km north-west of Poitiers on the road to Angers, from this point of view exemplary of many of the rural communes of france. And Bouygues Telecom does not hide from having worked on his offer to touch his specific territories : those who are not yet eligible for fibre, and are both very well covered by its 4G network. What are the contact 33% of French people who live in less densely populated areas of the territory and who consider that the flow is not enough.
elected officials raised against the mission France very high-speed
by the year 2022, “15% of the catch in the less densely populated areas will be connected by technology, non-wired, whether it’s 4G or satellite” provides the director of the mission France very high speed, Antoine Darodes, present on-site. And in rural areas, this ratio is expected to rise to 50% of the cost of connection.
The 4G for the Internet fixed also resembles a lifeline for the mission France very high speed, loaded to put in the pot to hatch the THD in the French countryside. “Today we have a real problem : the mission France very high speed retards, frankly, to pay the sums promised for the implementation of fiber optics on our territories and it becomes difficult to balance the budget” rattle Séverine Saint Pé. “I asked Mr. Darodes to move things forward. This is no longer tenable for the local communities”.
there Remains the question of white areas, those rural areas where no operator sees a business opportunity. It is then the State which obliges them to work together to install the network. “Approximately 1% of the French population is located in these areas,” relativizes Didier Casas, general Director deputy in charge of public affairs of Bouygues Telecom.
To move forward, the operators are obliged by the regulator to cover up in a way that is shared 4 000 sites by the end of 2019. But then again the devil resides in the details. Because the definition of the coverage of a white area specifies that only the centre of the village of the commune can be covered to justify the service. The rural areas still have beautiful days in front of them.
