Over the last five years, France has seen widespread deployment of alternative broadband networks in less densely populated areas. Strong promotion of digital development, primarily at a regional and local level but facilitated by national legislative and regulatory measures, has led to the emergence of a viable alternative to the incumbent-owned network and the creation of a competitive wholesale market. These public initiative networks (PINs), funded by a combination of public and private investment, have brought tangible benefits to France by extending broadband availability, stimulating competition and investment, and connecting businesses and the public sector.
