Research and Markets: France Telecommunications Report Q1 2012

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/a8ad6e/france_telecommuni) has announced the addition of the "France Telecommunications Report Q1 2012" report to their offering.

In the mobile market BMI again points to France's mobile virtual network operators (MVNOs) as the engine for top-line growth in the mobile arena in Q311 (latest operator results at the time of writing). While the network operators focus on upgrading existing 2G and 3G subscribers to mobile broadband and multiplay converged services packages, the MVNOs continue to enjoy success in addressing niche and low-cost markets increasingly eschewed by the network operators.

The French market is expected to be serving 66.38mn subscribers by the end of 2011, a figure BMI now forecasts to grow to 73.14mn in 2016. BMI's forecast takes into consideration the impact of newcomer Free Mobile's prospects when it launches in 2012 with a converged services offer and a national roaming agreement with Orange. Previously, BMI had been expecting Free to struggle.
