In an interview with the French daily Les Echos, the head of Arcep, Paul Champsaur, said the regulator wanted France Telecom, the country’s leading operator, to rent its underground fibre optic ducts to other operators.

"We hope to be able to ask the Competition Council for its recommendation in early 2008 so that the (duct rental) offer be ready in spring 2008," Champsaur said.
