	Tornado Insider - News - French ISP Free Plans IPO
		Free, the French ISP majority owned by multimedia holding company Iliad, will potentially seek an IPO before the end of the year, the company's general director said today.

		The subscription-free ISP went public in March, attaining a high of 75.2 euros, before plunging to a low of 27.6 euros in May. The shares were trading around 31 euros today.

	ISP Planet - Market Research - Free ISPs in France: Freesbee, LiberySurf, and Free
		The (French) Association of ISPs (AFA — Association des Fournisseurs d'Accès et de Services Internet) defines an active account as one that has been used in the past ninety days.
		In a truly fluffy marketing statement, Freesbee claims that it is spending FF 28 million (about $4 million) "to change the nature of the ISP simply by providing solutions for the problems encountered by Internauts (surfers)" ("de révolutionner le discours d'un provider simplement en répondant aux questions que se posent les internautes").
		A recent article that appeared on france.internet.com showed that LibertySurf, France's top free ISP, has a significant lead over Freesbee, with about 610,000 subscribers in eight European nations, of which about 338,000 subscribers had used their account in the last 40 days.

	Thomas Husson - Will FREE become a MVNO?
		There are rumors that Free (ILIAD), the French ISP, could launch a MVNO.
		Not really surprising given the fact that all stakeholders are contemplating the issue and that it would obviously make sense for an alternative operator promoting a multi-play strategy.
		Let's say it is not their competitive advantage (see my previous post on my freebox experience here)...Yes, but they could benefit from their national WIMAX license (Free was clever in acquiring Altitude Telecom before the auction was conduted by the regulatory body.

		In one fell swoop free vastly surpasses the number of FON routers worldwide (even if you assume that 10% of Free routers will be active and if you even double or quintuple the figures from http://tech.am/2006/09/25/the-real-fon-statistics-%E2%80%93-lies-manipulation-or-fantasy/) so I’m not sure FON will be helped by this in France.
		In the US it’s another story since no ISP is even remotely close to what Free is doing, be it feature- or price-wise… Sadly.
