It was the weak point of Free Mobile, a real troublemaker in the market for mobile telephony. But 4G coverage the French operator continues to grow, reaching 50% of the population, as the company announced a few days ago before explaining 60% target for the end of the year.
The operator ahead of SFR / Numericable
For this, the subsidiary of the Iliad Group has the means of its ambitions. In August, Free has been the first operator in terms of growth of 4G supports. With 197 websites put into service, the latest entrant into the market is way ahead, for example, SFR / Numericable and 19 sites activated last month. However, be aware that traditional operators whose coverage is already very efficient 70% of the population on average), logically experiencing a slowdown in the opening of new relay.
With 4G 4555 sites Free is third behind Bouygues Telecom (6728 sites) and Orange (7811 websites) but ahead of SFR / Numericable (3434 sites), according to the report ANFR (National Frequencies Agency) published today. By accelerating its 4G deployment, Free sends a strong message to his rivals as customers and future users. Coupled with the marketing of a 4G package whose price and service are unbeatable, the effort made by Free Mobile is expected soon to give cold sweats to other operators.
