www.WirelessFederation.com/news: The unwillingness of the French incumbents Orange France, SFR and Bouygues Telecom – to discuss 3G network sharing arrangements has posed a threat to the wireless market entry of Iliad’s Free Mobile in the country. The operator has planned to enter the market in 2012 but the prospects look set to be ‘seriously complicated’ the paper writes. The big three cellcos have thus far declined any offers to negotiate the use of their 3G networks and are currently only discussing 2G roaming agreements and this is the major reason behind the problem. While Orange and Bouygues have apparently refused to enter into negotiations on the matter, SFR only wants to discuss a roaming offer to its subscribers for 2G, as the law requires. As per the local media, Arcep may be forced to step in to resolve the situation or that, failing that, Iliad could go before the Competition Authority or the Council of State to seek a sensible resolution.
