I am happy to share that Orange has had a very good first half with solid results that allow us to confirm the Group’s guidance. These results, which notably include a sharp increase in cash flow, continue to be driven by the remarkable performance of Africa & Middle East and the solid improvement of EBITDAaL in Europe. They demonstrate the trust and loyalty of our customers around the world. A big thank to all of them. ➡️ This once again shows our ability to execute the #LeadTheFuture strategic plan in a constantly evolving market. 📍In France, our position as market leader, particularly in the high-end segment, and the excellent quality of our network and service enabled us to maintain a disciplined pricing policy. We continue to launch distinctive and innovative offerings, such as the new “Orange cybersecure” B2C cybersecurity solution, which draws on the recognized expertise of our subsidiary, Orange cyberdefense. 📍In Spain, the MASORANGE teams are fully operational and are starting to deliver the initial synergies. Today, MASORANGE announces the signing of a non-binding agreement with Vodafone Spain to create a FiberCo, which would allow us to capitalize on our infrastructure. 🙏 Thanks again to all our customers for their loyalty and the Orange teams for their dedication and performance. We will continue to demonstrate our know-how throughout the coming weeks of the #Paris2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Let’s continue! #H1_2024 👉 https://bit.ly/4bUXAuE

Let's wrap up our series of C-Suite interviews with some leading voices from the FTTH Conference 2024 with this conversation with Jean Marc Harion, Chief Executive Officer of the PLAY Group. How's the #FTTH rollout progressing in Poland? Jean Marc Harion explains why Poland is an unfair and unbalanced market for #fibre, with many areas overlapped by fixed #broadband operators while a 40% of households are still without access to any wireline broadband #connection. Following the acquisition of the largest cable company in the market, the PLAY Group set up a series of goals to improve and expedite fibre #conectivity across Poland and the Baltics. With the aim of making the infrastructure available to all the operators - as Jean Marc commented - PLAY Group is rapidly expanding the network starting with 3,7 additional million households, with the ambition to reach the 6 million by the end of decade. Watch the full interview and catch up with Poland's FTTH targets here ⬇️

MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World 2025 : announcing the CFP The 2025 edition of MPLS & SRv6 AI Net World Congress will stand from the 25th to 27th March at the Palais des Congrès de Paris. A Call for proposals is open until October 30th. The Conference: which new network design Should we build a network offering VPN services (BGP/MPLS or SRv6 types) or on the contrary design a simpler network, without VPN (states) and build the service at the edge (SD-WAN type)? Ideally with a co-construction of the service between the edge (SD-WAN or other cloud-type service) and the core (which could offer differentiated routing with SR, diffserve QoS, on-demand filtering for protection against DDOS...)? As each year, renowned experts will discuss the current trends towards future network designs. Main sessions will cover IPv6 deployments, AI & ML, Clocking, EVPN, IP/Optical and Open RAN. https://lnkd.in/esHabAud

Bouygues Telecom proposed €950M takeover of the MVNO La Poste Mobile greenlighted by the French Competition Authority France’s Competition Authority (Autorité de la concurrence), has cleared Bouygues Telecom’s proposed €950 million takeover of the mobile virtual network operator (#MVNO) La Poste Mobile without conditions. Bouygues Telecom announced back in February its intention to acquire 100% of La Poste Telecom (La Poste Mobile), currently 51% owned by the La Poste Groupe and 49% by SFR) and to conclude an exclusive distribution partnership involving the La Poste group, La Banque Postale and La Poste Telecom. Bouygues Telecom said that the deal would enable it to strengthen its base by approximately 2.3 million mobile customers. It would also enable it to rely on La Poste’s distribution network, which benefits from a strong brand recognized for its values of “trust and proximity”. La Poste Telecom has 400 employees and a turnover of approximately €300 million in 2023.  In addition to the green light from the Competition Authority, the acquisition still requires the approval of SFR, committed to providing the La Poste Telecom network until the end of 2026. SFR has a right of pre-emption on the shares for sale as a priority, but also a right of approval of the purchaser.  La Poste Mobile is the fifth largest operator in the French market, with 2.3 million customers, behind Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom and Free Mobile https://lnkd.in/gJ_QQHer
