Progress is made with infrastructure sharing but it is still little used compared to the total
number of eligible subscribers and households. As of 30 June 2010, there were 850 FttH
subscriptions that were being delivered thanks to a network sharing agreement between
the customer‟s service provider and a competing operator – from among 83,000 eligible
households located in more than 600 buildings equipped with optical fibre-to-the-home
and connected to at least two operators‟ network.
The sizeable increase in the number of households eligible to receive a fibre-to-the-home
solution from at least two operators, which began in the fourth quarter of 2009, has
continued thanks to the implementation of network sharing schemes in accordance with
the ARCEP decision that was published in the Journal Officiel of 17 January 2010,
concerning the terms for accessing optical fibre ultra-fast broadband electronic
communications lines.
