Therefore the lack of coherence is manifest

The opposition is growing against the Hauts-de-Seine optical fibre network project named "THD92". With a budget of 150 to 200 million euros, it is one of the most important projects of this type from a community. Several operators do not see the initiative of a good eye, such as Colt, who recalled having already invested more than 100 million euros in the Department. Some have expressed their criticism to Arcep or Brussels. In addition, three councillors of opposition (Socialist, Communist and green) filed a recourse for excess of power before the administrative tribunal of Versailles (read below). "This action is certainly not admissible because the referred deliberation was only a preparatory value," said the General Council.

Above all, the project is very criticized by the SIPERREC. This Union of municipalities of the first Crown in Paris believe that THD92 doublonnera with its networks (read here), starting with iridescent. The SIPERREC commissioned to experts a report, which concludes that THD92 "destabilize undoubtedly" iridescent. "THD92 posed serious risks on iridescent and undermines this initiative (...), would lead to the disappearance in term of some players and would probably result in a decrease in the level of competition." The report denounces "perverse competition, public funding of a wild competition funding."

The experts recall first that THD92 is a network of service, it connects end users in a central, as opposed to a collection system, which connects these exchanges between them.

Collection: the Department proposes that THD92 uses existing collection networks, including gloss (read below).

According to the report, this measure is "inoperative" and could easily be bypassed, resulting in "particularly competition and a consequent reduction in income." Conclusion: "there is a strong risk that iridescent would be scooped." The risk is serious distortions of competition, or even the appearance of a competition unfair.

Service: the Department asserts that iridescent is only a collection network. The report, it is "manifest and palpable error: iridescent has been designed as a comprehensive network of service and collection debut." It develops and is denser, especially for the fine service, as the years". Conclusion: THD92 "would introduce a strong competition" with iridescent. "The nature of the linked sites is strictly equivalent to that of iridescent, except real estate home, that does not currently iridescent, but that is not excluded from its development."

Rates: THD92 provides low rates, including by the "significant" grant from the Department. In view of this, the SIPERREC recalled that iridescent was built without any subsidy. Result: rates of THD92 "would be in most of the more advantageous that iridescent" and therefore "allegedly predatory effects." Conclusion: THD92 rates "induce strong competition and will involve a reduction in income for iridescent". The SIPERREC therefore "a making consistency of tariffs, to avoid the predatory effects" of THD92.

The economic impact: the report estimates the economic impact of THD92 on iridescent, who could lose up to 25 of its traffic. Consequence: the cumulative net result of iridescent could decline by 7 to 35 million euros (or 12 to 35). And therefore "iridescent might be implemented in financial difficulty" by this "considerable" loss In view of this, the communes of the SIPERREC "could" be put to work to fill the loss of gloss. Another solution: the Hauts-de-Seine "should commit themselves to contribute financially to the possible losses suffered by iridescent directly attributable to THD92".

Consistency: the report recalled that, according to the Act of 2004, "the intervention of the community is in consistency with the networks of public initiative". So there is a "legal duty" for consistency with existing networks. Gold "duplication is strong: total customer recovery, physical redundancy by geographical coverage and sites connected." Therefore "the lack of coherence is manifest." "We are far away from the public initiatives, as well as coherence of a good use of public funds".
