Historical Internet operators: SFR, Orange, Bouygues and Free

Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free constitute in France what are called the mobile network operators. They alone benefit from the authorization issued by theArcep (Regulatory authority for electronic communications and posts) allowing to use hertzian frequencies in order to distribute mobile offers. Thus, all infrastructure, equipment and relay antennas, constituting the physical mobile network deployed on French territory, are divided between these 4 operators.

These companies, which share most of the mobile market, are also Internet market leader. Their role in the development of the Internet in France is absolutely major, whether in ADSL or in fiber.

• Orange, Heir to France Telecom and owner of “local loop“(the RTC analog fixed telephone network), is one of the precursors both on the mobile and on the Internet. If the extent and reliability of its network – as well as the quality of its customer service – acts as a reference, the historic operator assumes a pricing policy above the standards of the market. To conquer a wider clientele, Orange has created its own low cost brand, Sosh. This offers mobile plans at a low price, from € 5.99, But also Internet + Mobile subscriptions to take advantage of the Internet offer inspired by those of Orange, The Sosh box.
• SFR is one of the heavyweights on the market, whether for its mobile or internet offers. Indeed, the operator, who merged with Numericable in 2016, has the main advantage of offering his offers both in ADSL and FTTH (optical fiber to the subscriber) but also in FTTLA, that is To be said in fiber to the last amplifier (through a coaxial cable on the last meters of connection). The catalog of Internet offers SFR has the particularity of being densely garnished, with subscriptions intended for any type of users. Thus, alongside standard offers, there are a certain number of Triple Play subscriptions (Internet, Fixed Telephony, TV) focused on content, with access to prized TV bouquets of moviegoers (SFR Ciné Séries, OCS, Ciné+ , etc.) and sports enthusiasts (RMC Sport, BeIN Sports, etc.)). Through its low cost brand Red, SFR aligns with the Internet and mobile prices of cheap operators, by offering simplified versions of its SFR offers.
• Bouygues Telecom, The bouygues construction giant subsidiary has concentrated its efforts on the rapid development of its 4G network, thanks to which it can market its classic mobile plans and its range at low prices B & you. The operator is not to be outdone on the internet aspect: with his Bbox, which operate on Android and pre-embark Several applications of Google Play, Bouygues Telecom offers an original alternative to traditional boxes. The operator recently innovated by launching his 5g box, which is the first box to benefit from the fixed internet using the 5G mobile network.
• Free stands out from its competitors due to the number of packages marketed, whether on the Internet or Mobile. Since arriving on the mobile market, the group highlights the simplicity and transparency of its catalog, elements which have contributed to the recent successes of the operator. On the Internet, the subsidiary of Iliad Tables in particular on the great stability of its offers and on many private sales, which consist of short -term commercial actions aimed at offering its Freebox at broken price. In addition, with these last 3 freebox, Delta, Delta S And Pop, The operator has shown that he could also offer high -end products like his competitors.

The main missing internet and mobile operators

In recent years, several internet access providers and mobile operators have disappeared. Some have gone bankrupt or preferred to abandon in the face of fierce competition from the sector, others have merged with each other to form a new entity, others finally have been bought and incorporated into larger structures.

• Among the most notorious, we can cite Virgin Mobile. The brand, which has become famous for its mobile plans shot around 16-25 year olds and belonging to Altice (Mother house of SFR) successively announced the cessation of marketing of its internet and mobile offers in 2016. This strategic choice results from a desire to boost its low cost red brand, to which Virgin Mobile customers have been encouraged to switch. Forced migrations from Virgin Mobile to Red by SFR equivalent plans are currently at work.
• The case of M6 mobile is still different. The brand, which continued to operate until 2016, was born from an agreement between the M6 ​​television group and the operator Orange. It was distinguished by its low -cost mobile plans and its original communication (organization of concerts, sporting events, etc.) to attract young or offbeat clientele. Despite real success (up to 3 million customers), Orange has chosen to favor its low cost Sosh brand and abandon M6 Mobile. Subscribers can however continue to benefit from their package awaiting a migration to Orange or Sosh, which offer equivalent plans.
• The merger of SFR and Numericable was a small earthquake in the universe of telecoms: announced in 2014, the Disappearance of Numericable is definitely activated in 2016 when the newly formed group CHOSIT to use the SFR brand to market its offers. However, the country’s main cable operator teams still 1 million subscribers and it will undoubtedly have to wait for several months before SFR proceeded to the great migration announced by the group and the replacement of the numbers of boxes with SFR boxes. From Numericable, there are thus many vestiges, first of all of which its FTTLA network used by SFR, but also its “TV by Numericable” television service.
• Before becoming a range of non -binding packages belonging to Bouygues Telecom, B & You constituted a brand in its own right and had even briefly offered an internet access offer by ADSL, Box & You. Since 2014, B & You has been fully nested in Bouygues Telecom, unlike Red or Sosh, several services that work independently of their parent company. Thus, B & YOU subscribers are now managed in the same way as other Bouygues Telecom customers, in terms of access to customer service, management of their internet or store assistance.

At the rank of other missing operators, we can also cite:

1. Casino Mobile, which belonged to Omea Telecom then to SFR-NUMERICABLE. The brand dedicated itself exclusively to the sale of Prepaid cards.
2. Mobile buzz, this “ethnic” operator whose recharges were available from many tobacconists disappeared in 2015. He was previously addressed to the different communities living in France by offering preferential rates abroad (Maghreb, Sub -Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe, Portugal, etc.) and even launched his box in ADSL.
3. Mobile crossroads. This brand license granted to the Giant of Large Distribution Carrefour by Orange definitively ceased to be distributed in the group’s signs in 2015 in 2015. On this occasion, Orange prompted the Mobile Carrefour subscribers to migrate to Sosh mobile plans or Mobicarte (Orange Prepay).
4. Zero Package, which drew its originality from its unique subscription, low cost and without commitment, is also one of these operators not to have given a long time, turning off only a few years after its creation.

If the domain of mobile telephony brings together most of the “missing races”, some ISPs as a green connection, supplier of the internet by satellite, have also closed their doors. The company was thus bought in 2012 by Europasat, European leader in the matter.

MVNOs, or small mobile operators

THE Mvno, or virtual mobile network operators, are operators who do not have clean network and in fact use the infrastructures of “operators-hosts” (SFR for most of them, but also Orange or Bouygues Telecom) in order to offer their own mobile packages or internet offer.

Currently, the most important of them, with 1.5 million customers, is called IS Telecom (Euro-information Telecom). It is not only an operator but a company alone bringing together no less than 7 commercial brands, namely:

1. Auchan Telecom and its family -oriented packages available in the AUCHAN group’s large distribution stores
2. Cdiscount mobile and its package 2.00€ €
3. Mobile NRJ and its offers oriented towards young people
4. Soon Mobile and its packages marketed in Vivre Mobile brands
5. Crédit Mutuel Mobile, CIC Mobile and Cofidis Mobile (Cofidis has stopped package sales since 2017), which offer mobile and internet offers at a preferential price for Crédit Mutuel, CIC and Cofidis customers.

The particularity of EI Telecom is to be what is called a “Full MVNO”. Unlike the “MNVO Light” totally dependent on operators-hosts, the Full MVNO keep the control over the management of their SIM cards and on their basis customers. Moreover, having signed 3 partnerships (with Orange, Bouygues Telecom and SFR), IS Telecom can use several mobile networks and thus “switch” its subscribers from one network to another on request. Apart from EI Telecom, other MVNOs benefit from this triple partnership. This is the case of Coriolis, both ISP and mobile operator, but also Netcom Group, specializing in fixed and mobile telephony for companies.

MVNOs under the supervision of SFR are, by far, the most numerous on the market. Indeed, the Budget Telecom group, bringing together both the budget (dedicated families), club serenity (dedicated to seniors) and mobile budget (general public) brands, is one of the most important on this market segment. THE Afone Group table for its part on its presence in Leclerc stores With its regal mobile brand, and on a customer of professionals with its brand Afone Mobile. Finally, the third and last MVNO “group” present exclusively on the SFR network is called Mundio Mobile. This London company is one of the European leaders on the MVNO market and has many brands on the whole continent. In France, its activity is limited to Vectone Mobile and its offers specially oriented to the international.

Beyond the previously cited groups, SFR also concluded an agreement with the mobile post for the use of its network. The operation of the mobile post is singular, since the operator is 51% held by post and 49% by SFR. Intermediate mobile range operator, La Poste Mobile also offers the fixed internet by very high speed on the network of SFR.

Prixtel, another MVNO on the SFR network, uses him Nra (Subscriber connection nodes) unbundled SFR to distribute its internet offers by ADSL. The operator also offers modular mobile packages On the SFR mobile network.

Finally, more confidential, Simplus and Joi Telecom also use SFR equipment to broadcast subscriptions at a low price. Their packages, however, suffer from theabsence of 4G.

MVNOs present exclusively on the network ofOrange are fewer. We can cite the Transatel group, which has two brands in France:

1. Mobile transatel, whose mobile solutions are mainly intended for cross -border workers Franco-Swiss And Franco-Belgian,
2. Lefrenchmobile, which targets European travelers thanks to a system of Prepaid cards.

Finally, Bouygues Telecom only welcome 2 mvno:

1. Lebara Mobile, present at the four corners of the globe,
2. Lycamobile, who has an advance to be full mvno on the Bouygues Telecom network.

Symacom, with His hybrid card (Classic package + prepaid package), more or less seeks to attract the same customers, while the MVNO Bazile Telecom is betting on mobile plans comprising a whole range of services intended for seniors.

Internet suppliers in white zone

In certain rural or isolated regions, it is still not possible to access a broadband connection by the ADSL or to benefit from a mobile network. These non -served territories, which are named white areas, drew the attention of certain operators that have flared the potential of this niche market and developed internet and mobile solutions in response.

White areas are generally invested by operators offering a Internet access by satellite. One of the most famous, Nordnet, offers not only satellite technology, but also radio technology (Wimax or Wifimax), fiber thanks to RIP (Public Initiative Networks) present in certain territories. The operator even extended its initial offer to ADSL and mobile by collaborating with Orange.

Other operators competition northnet on the internet market by satellite:

All offer satellite -based offers Eutelsat Or Astra.

MVNES: virtual mobile operators

Other entities do not act like Mvno as such but as Virtual mobile network facilitators. This is the case, for example, of the group Transatel or Sisteer Telecom.

These companies offer their technical solutions to operators and a number of services essential for the dissemination of their offers. Among the most notable, we find the Voice management management, of the Sms And Data on the network 2/3/4G In France and in Roaming, the creation of personalized SIM cards in the colors of the customer operator, the management of final customer invoicing or even a call collection system.

Finally, in a completely different logic, “marginal” operators defend a completely different vision of the Internet and have developed non-lucrative models: this is the case for example of the FDN association, which through its offers defends Web neutrality and freedom of expression on the Internet. In particular, it offers ADSL offers using a system of VPN to guarantee connection security.
