* 48% of iPhone sales lead to a new Orange line subscription *80% of customers sign up for a dedicated "Orange for iPhone" plan at the same timeJust 5 days after the full commercial launch, Orange has already sold 30,000 iPhones, thus confirming the strong appeal of this new type of mobile, available since 29 November in 680 Orange points of sale in France, on www.orange.fr and through Orange customer services (by dialling 700 from an Orange mobile or 39 70 from a fixed line).In addition, the enthusiasm shown for the dedicated "Orange for iPhone" plans demonstrates the relevance of the offer. As well as Internet services, customers appreciate unlimited e-mail and Visual Voicemail, generous WiFi access, and a range of talk time and SMS tariffs adapted to different needs."This is a very good score, especially as one in two iPhone purchases is accompanied by a new Orange line subscription", said Louis-Pierre Wenes, Executive Director in charge of France operations. "This confirms that th
This upcoming Thursday, the iPhone is being released in France. The iPhone will also sell as an unlocked unit, just like in Germany, though at a surposedly lower price.
Didier Lumbard, France Telecom’s CEO, said “The target is a little under 100,000 sold by the end of the year,” and that the iPhone will be considerably cheaper than Germany’s 999 Euros, or $1500 USD.
The iPhone, Lumbard hinted, will be around 399 Euros with the two year contract. Also mentioned was that the contract would start at 49 Euros a month, with two hours of talk-time and 50 SMS texts included - with a 4.50 Euro increase per month for the 12 month term.

After nearly two weeks of no ADSL, we’re finally back online, at least for the moment.
We’ve been calling France Telecom every day over that time and every day it’s a a different answer. At the start of the two weeks, the noise on the line was so bad that we couldn’t hear the guy on the fault reporting line so ended up having to call them from another phone.
Result? We’ve tested your line and it’s perfect. Emmm, we can’t hear anyone when they call as there’s so much noise on the line. No, it’s perfect.
Next day. Testing… yes, there’s a problem. We’ll send someone out. Two days later nobody and no working line so we call again. No, we’ve tested it: there’s nothing wrong. Several more attempts and we actually had someone come out. Ah, there was oxidation on the contacts, that’s why it wasn’t working.
Well, that sort-of fixed the phone. We can usually hear people now but still the ADSL wasn&rs
PARIS (Reuters) - France Telecom dijo el miércoles que había acordado la compra de ya.com, proveedor español de servicios online de Deutsche Telekom, por 320 millones de euros.
Deutsche Telekom puso ya.com a la venta en marzo, junto con otros activos que no consideraba esenciales, como parte de una estrategia para reimpulsar la compañía más importante de Alemania, que ha visto cómo el aumento de la competencia y los altos costes de plantilla han hecho descender sus beneficios.

The Bells did it before. Deutsche Telekom used the instrument to put pressure on the new Merkel government. And now France Telecom resorts to extortion.
Didier Lombard, CEO, threatens to divert investments to Asian manufacturers, should the EC finalize international roaming rate cuts.
Furthermore, if Asian companies are cheaper too, why not buy from them anyway?
