3.1 Access to in-house wiring or equivalent
In-house wiring access products are available on a mandatory basis. However, the roll-out is
still in early stages and access products are getting increasingly available. As of 30th June
2010, 83 000 households (out of 910 000 FttH household) were eligible for in-house wiring
access products.
a) In-house wiring access products are passive access products and may either be :
� paid one-shot in the form of an IRU for a long period (often exceeding 60 years) given
by the operator of the building. This product is available on a commune per commune
basis and may include a risk premium,;
� building per building access offers (available from France Télécom, SFR and Free) as
a long-term lease, either paid as a one-off fee or paid monthly.
The access point can be situated within the limits of private property in the case of
existing buildings in very high-density areas that have at least 12 residential or office
units, or which are connected to a visitable public sewage network through a supply
tunnel which is also visitable. In all the other cases, the access point will be located
outside the limits of private property.
b) Access to in-house wiring is mandated though symmetrical regulation (based on French
national law).
c) Included in relevant Market 4 definition (no obligation associated yet).
d) Current regulatory obligations are based on the decision n°09-1106. The decision already
provides obligations applicable throughout the territory:
� Access at the concentration point has to be provided via a passive offer : according to
the decision, the building operator has to offer access to a passive concentration
point; notwithstanding when at least four fibre per dwelling unit have been installed
and have been bought by operators, access may only be offered at a point further up
in the network, via a passive or an active offer.
� The building operator has to publish an access offer, specifying the conditions of
access to lines with either a dedicated optical fibre or a shared fibre line and access to
specific resources.
� The building operator has to transmit prior information on buildings it has equipped
with fibre optic lines and on concentration points.
