In addition in the mobile we start from zero

Are you satisfied with your score on the Free Mobile project

Yes, this shows that we have put a lot of energy and sealed off a good record after the warning we received during our first bid in 2007! Since this date, we increased our credibility. Many competitors have disappeared in the ADSL, we have become more profitable. In addition, our record is now very well funded. In General, many bankers, manufacturers, distributors, holders of high points brought their support to our project.

You have be able to offer a 3 hour of communication within 20 euros: can already obtain the equivalent in a MVNO. Is this as Free Mobile will "revolutionize" the market

We felt it was interesting to at least one example of offer in our commitments, but could not predict what will be commercially in two years! Believe me, the operators will not remain inert to here. What to remember, it is our desire to simplify offers. Today, they are very complex, there is a multitude, but never one that matches your needs. If you have unlimited SMS, there is not enough voices... As the unlimited total should pay 200 euros, the consumer is there is no nor. However, for less than 20 euros with us, it will have 3 hours of votes against 30 to 40 minutes at Orange or SFR. This gives an idea of what it can do.

You will create 5,000 direct jobs with this license. Do you not fear a crisis of growth, or lose your agility

We will especially much hire shops and centres of relations subscribers, and less in central functions. In addition, in the mobile we start from zero. We will build Free Mobile with our flesh and blood. Indeed we are not parties seek a President or Director-General to the outside. It is Free technical pattern in ADSL who works on the selection of equipment suppliers. The small team of the early days, magnified a few new continues to fly operations. For us all, the mobile is the natural next step in the development of Free.

You have lived an intense year with this call for tenders. Do you have difficulty in exercising your right to homelessness ("roaming") with other operators

No, "roaming" is quite marked and arbitrated by Arcep. I would like to congratulate the Arcep, which held its role to the end. This is reassuring on the institutions. Perhaps the President of the Republic expressed his skepticism about the utility of the fourth mobile operator, but it will retain it's during the mandate of Nicolas Sarkozy that he saw the day.

Once the license in hand, what is your next challenge

Deployment! We now have to perform our 27 of coverage in the next 24 months. The main difficulty will not find high points: we are in a known field. We work as other operators with subsidiaries of telecommunication engineering groups for maintenance. We have nor problem of place, since networks are increasingly small. The real challenge is to establish an industrial organization to deploy thousands of antennas in a few years. We start with a simple idea: we have no reason to drag in the deployment, since we have the financial means, and that one minute purchased from other operators cost us more expensive than a minute produced by ourselves.
