Orange is the new black out?

This is what Stéphane Richard, CEO of Orange said on France 2 today.

Indeed, if the problematic that was imposed on Free was the subject of much more media coverage, it should not be forgotten that the question of the royalty is a question much more generalized than it seems and affects also relations with the incumbent operator.

Stéphane Richard specifies that "We have a position aligned with that of Free (…) We do not want to arrive at the same point but it is possible to also cut the signal if there is no agreement."

A question of principle for Stéphane RICHARD and Orange.

For Orange the amount of the royalty is not a problem but the qualitative defect of the product that is in question.

A little dog who bites the tail, Altice wishing to claim the payment of a counterpart for the dissemination of its programs, to improve the content.

Stéphane Richard defends himself by stating " We will pay if there is an additional service, not otherwise. "

A complement of case law that would be concretely provided by Orange in case of breakage of the signal and would not arrange the business of BFM TV already strongly impacted by the interruption of broadcast on the Freebox.

Bouygues is left to plunge into the breach so that the loop is looped operators level and why not consider reaching a balanced agreement for everyone.
