The Federation of Industrial Networks of Public Initiative and considers that the proposal is formalized by the Arcep, is only a first step towards the foundation of a status of truly comprehensive, and calls for a second phase is already announced by this authority, including a calendar, quick.
It will also be essential that the status area “fibered” to be brought politically, and with communication tools supported at the national level, in order to avoid repeating the pitfalls of the “Label ZATHD”, quickly abandoned after its creation in the absence of a communication sufficient to cause an actual membership.
If the FIRIP is not opposed in principle to the establishment of new indicators of quality of service, it requires a minimum of cooperation and proportionality. “The zone status fibered should not be used to impose new obligations unilaterally by the Arcep,” explains Etienne Dugas, President.
Finally, in order to ensure equity on the corporate market, today dominated by a duopoly, the FIRIP request to add certain criteria for the attribution of the status : it should be able to be assigned, on a given area, if all of the wholesale offers on FttH needed for the animation competitive in the corporate market (offers passive and active, with and without quality of service specific) were available. The FIRIP also welcomes the fact that the criteria of completeness include both the local professionals as accommodation.
