great week for the fiber optics in France. The 7, the european Commission ” has concluded that the French national plan for broadband was compatible with EU rules on State aid. The plan provides for investment of up to € 13 billion. It aims to bring the ultra high-speed anywhere in France without unduly distorting competition. “ 9, we saw the launch of Vitis, a new operator fiber 100% dedicated to the Network of Public Initiative.
Combat the digital invoice
The development of fibre optics everywhere in France is a strategic issue. If France wants to remain in the forefront of the great nations, it is vital to have a network of very high speed wicking as high as possible and, in all of its territories, the more isolated they are. The digital divide discussed since the mid-2000s is a reality that the deployment of RIP now enables you to reduce. The fiber in the RIP should be able to bring to the French equivalent services to those of large national operators, the famous Big 4 : Orange, Free, SFR and Bouygues Telecom.

positioning to a different national operators
By positioning itself on the RIP, Vitis is based on the partners ‘ infrastructure (RIP-Altitude infrastructure, Axione or Covage for example) who build the networks and then sell taken FTTH enabled on which Vitis offers its FIBER videofutur. A dynamic model that allows the Vitis to concentrate mainly on the commercial offer and the relationship subscriber, in contrast to the large operators that operate end-to-end fibre deployment, which, in some cases, potentially limits competition.
One offers simple and powerful
THE FIBER videofutur develops on the networks of public initiative that will include 5 million taken in a 5-year horizon. Thanks to its Triple-play offer (Internet, TV, phone), but also thanks to its offer of SVOD (cinema and youth), the portal Replay, its offer of video on demand (TVOD and EST), its applications and its interface Box far more powerful than that of several national operators, THE FIBER videofutur has all the potential to become a major ISPS RIP, alongside other ISPS, who also offer fiber, that are Comcable, KNet, Wibox, Kiwi, Coriolis, NordNet or Ozone.
In Vitis, it emphasizes both the simplicity of the offer and the proximity to the subscribers, thereby avoiding the barriers to entry are : a single price (39,90€), no connection fees and implementation service, phone options, simple and easy access to 20,000 content TV and video. To stand out from the competition, Vitis did not hesitate to form agreements with the major media groups : TF1, Lagardère, Viacom, France Télévisions, Warner, Canal +, FilmoTV, among others.
To Mathias Hautefort, president of Vitis, says : ” With its offer 100% Fiber, THE FIBER videofutur, VITIS is registered in a logic of proximity with its subscribers located within the RIPs : indeed we consider that it is essential to offer all French people the best High-Speed broadband.“
2017, the year of the fiber
Vitis, with its offering FIBER videofutur has strong growth prospects because, in bringing the fibre FTTH up to 1Gb/s to homes outside the major conurbations, it responds perfectly to the expectations of French to be able to have an internet connection comfortable associated with linear services and délinéarisés performance. Mathias Hautefort concludes : ” Being an actor of the “motorways of the entertainment for all”, in the service of the Territories, this is what VITIS offers by being an innovative player with packages combining content and Very High Speed on the RIPs. “
