Would the fourth mobile license square the circle Because it became very difficult to put an antenna in France, it is "potentially unworkable", reported the week last Virgin Mobile and Numericable to justify their decision to not be candidates. "The current situation does not sufficient safeguards to ensure a new entering the deployment of an own network, which meets the coverage obligations imposed at 25 of the population within two years and 80 in eight years", found the tandem in a joint statement... A good dark table compiled for Free, always only one candidate for the fourth license mobile on the eve of the date limit for filing. In fact, if the licensee does not fulfil its obligations to cover in a timely manner, it actually risk fines, or even the withdrawal pure and simple.
Legal action, teardowns decided by justice... the trial of antennas already began before even the drama of the fourth licence. In the round table of waves, the French Agency of environment and labour safety ruled for a reduction of the exhibitions. A SIA Board study, if the power of the antenna had to be lowered in accordance with requests from residents, the note could reach from 3.6 to 7 billion euros for operators in place, which will be forced to implement other relay, more than 800 million in additional costs of maintenance EUR 1.6 billion. Understand what mean Numericable and Virgin Mobile when they speak of a delta of EUR 120 million in the cost of deploying the conditions of installation of the antennes...
Irony of the situation
But even before to speak roughly, the first unknown for Free is: where to ask its transmitter - receiver Under the terms of the licence, three current operators have obligation to open the sites they owned to the new entrant. Only problem, they are tenants most of the time. Martin Bouygues, which is fundamentally hostile to the arrival of a fourth operator, is not deprived of noted the irony of the situation: "it is that the three operators in urban areas are tenants of the sites in 96-97 of cases" and "in non-urban areas, in 50 of cases. Therefore renegotiate contracts the case by case basis with each trustee of building, each commune. The procedure can last 12 to 18 months, said Stéphane Dubreuil, in SIA Board. "And, again, this is a non-confrontational context." The explosion of the use of 200 to 300 at this time, six to twelve month extension process.
However, ultimately need 12,000 to 15,000 antennas! And, in the immediate, Free will install between 2,000 and 5,000. But the fact candidate mine not to worry and favours the low hypothesis. His mother house, Iliad, which is working on this for at least three years mobile licence, had time to explore and sign agreements with Trustees of building. It will be able to rent the high points of TDF... which is just present in the Paris region, vital zone to quickly cover a quarter of the population. Other solutions are under consideration: ten towers to the roofs of the garages of the capital. To solve such a puzzle, the most original ideas are welcome.
