2.1 Duct Access
a) Since market 4 analysis decision n° 2008-0835 adopted in July 2008, France Télécom
has to give access to its “local loop” ducts to alternative operators for the roll-out of optical
Fttx networks. The same obligation is planned to be renewed in the next market 4
analysis which could be applied during 2011.
b) Access to ducts includes
� access to all ducts which are part of the copper local loop (from the MDF to the street
cabinet and from the street cabinet to the homes),
� access to chambers/man holes.
Access is limited to the purpose of optical rolls out for Fttx networks to the end user.
Rules have to be specified so as to permit several operators to roll-out their own fibre
optical networks in parallel.
Arcep is planning in market 4 analysis review to mandate France Télécom to provide
access to its poles for FttH rolls out.
c) Duct access is directly included in the relevant market, along with access to the copper /
fibre local loop.
d)
� Access to ducts and manholes, alternative operators are allowed to do all the studies
and works on the field. France Télécom has to propose desaturation processes when
there is no space available.
� France Telecom has to provide all the information (maps etc.) it has on its ducts.
� France Telecom has to use the same operational processes for its own fibre roll-out.
France Telecom has to edict engineer rules so as to precise how to deal with the
limited availability in its ducts.
