Fiber optics: war is declared between operators, the Senate and the government

Disconnected customers, holes in the walls, street cabinets in shambles… With his bill aimed at improving the quality of fiber optic connections, Senator (LR) Patrick Chaize thought he was tackling a consensual subject: finishing the construction site correctly to 35 billion euros of very high speed, before Orange shuts down its old copper network by 2030.

But the reverse happened. Since the vote on Tuesday, unanimously in the Senate, the text has caused an open conflict. Telecom operators, the Minister of Telecoms, Jean-Noël Barrot, and even Arcep, the regulator, are once morest almost the entire project. It is a “very dangerous” bill, even judged Laure de la Raudière, the president of Arcep, a few days ago.
