Free, Xavier Niel no longer believes in redemption Bouygues Telecom … – ZDNet France

It is claimed to body and cries by Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange. The concentration in the telecoms market, with a return to three actors is it on? The ambitions of Numericable / SFR about Bouygues Telecom recently revived speculation but this perspective agitating financial and media always seems to move away.

It has been mentioned several times, Bouygues Telecom is convinced to continue alone, despite a weakened positions and Free Mobile on his heels (11 million customers against 10). And calls from the foot of Patrick Drahi 7.5 billion does not seem to change much.

A view shared by Xavier Niel Wednesday at the presentation of the (very good) results Iliad. “There will be no consolidation since Martin Bouygues is not the seller. He considers Bouygues Telecom as his wife, he will not sell his wife! And if that were the case, 90% of the value would be between two hands
 actors, this is not possible, we would face a duopoly “, asserts Xavier Niel.

A redemption BouyguesTel by Altice would have allowed Free to get in on the first network to meet competitive issues. But the momentum seems to be over for Free which now covers 75% of the population in 3G, 4G quickly advance and will compete for the auction of 700 MHz. What out as soon the roaming agreement with Orange on 3G and reach eventually its target of 25% market share in mobile, against 15% today.

And this status quo on the market will not prevent Free to play its role agitator. Rumors
  a passage to 10 euros from its package have not verified but the
  billionaire warns: “Our aggressive as we strengthen
 our coverage progresses. Leave us a little time to even
 divide the price. “Competition can continue to agonize.
