Press Release 17 October 2005 Orange, Bouygues Telecom and TPS test TV-over-mobile service using DVB-H Orange, Bouygues Telecom and TPS, together with its shareholders TF1 and M6, are conducting a trial to broadcast digital television to mobile phones using the new DVB-H standard on channel 37 in Paris. The experiment follows the announcement of the joint project on 7 March 2005 and the approval by the French broadcasting authority (CSA) on 13 September. Objectives of trial A panel of 400 Paris-based customers, recruited from among Orange and Bouygues Telecom subscribers – some of whom are also TPS subscribers, will take part in a nine-month trial. This involves testing a package of channels and services and determining usage patterns of TV-over- mobile. The experiment also aims to test service quality: coverage, handsets, reception on the move and indoors, etc. Channels and services Participants in the pilot scheme will initially have access to a package of nine different channels: TF1, M6, LCI, Eurosport, Infosport, TF6, Télétoon, Paris Première and M6 Music Hits. Additional theme channels may be added during the trial period. Services related to TV programmes will also be available, including an interactive programme guide at launch. Technology DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast - Handheld) is a digital terrestrial television standard adapted to mobile handheld devices. It allows TV, radio and video programmes to be broadcast on mobile phone screens. DVB-H offers high-quality audiovisual service and unlimited use. The use of a GSM network also offers major additional advantages, such as interactive services for customers. Another characteristic of this pilot programme is the use of the new compression standard MPEG4 (H.264), which delivers optimum picture quality. This is the first time that it has been used in combination with the DVB-H standard anywhere in the world. The SAGEM My MobileTV handset has been specially developed by SAGEM, in cooperation with Bouygues Telecom and Orange, for the experiment. Besides the conventional functionalities of a mobile phone, it is equipped with a large screen, Bouygues Telecom’s i-mode service and Orange’s Orange World portal. The broadcasting network relies on five transmitters, rolled out and operated by French satellite broadcaster TDF. The trial, conducted in France by an all-French team, paves the way for the launch of mobile digital TV. Press contacts: France Télécom / Orange: Nilou du Castel / Sébastien Goales.

Cette analyse, qui ne prend pas en compte la chaîne Canal+, porte sur 99 des 117 chaînes payantes existant fin 2009. Elle fait notamment apparaître que près de 42 % des foyers équipés d’un téléviseur étaient à cette date abonnés à une offre multichaîne payante. Synthèse Un bilan qui porte sur 99 chaînes payantes Le bilan réalisé par le CSA entend par télévision payante tout service qui n’est accessible que par le biais d’un abonnement, que ce soit pour une offre globale, couplée ou non avec d’autres services (internet, téléphone), ou pour des services vendus à l’unité. Cette définition ne tient donc pas compte du financement des services. Au 31 décembre 2009, le nombre des services payants conventionnés ou autorisés en langue française (hors Canal+) diffusés sur le câble, le satellite et l’ADSL en France métropolitaine était de 117, contre 116 en 2008. Parmi ceux-ci, 6 étaient autorisés et 111 conventionnés. Toutefois, les données statistiques qui font l’objet de l’étude portent sur 99 services édités par 58 sociétés. 13 sociétés éditent plusieurs services chacune - Canal J (3 chaînes) : Canal J, June et Tiji ; - Disney Channel

1 Digital Terrestrial Television in France
Digital Terrestrial Television in France: an attempt to enhance competition in an oligopolistic market# Marc Bourreau ENST, Département EGSH, and CREST-LEI Only 17 per cent of French households received digital television in 2002.1 Hence, for public authorities, digital terrestrial television (DTTV) is mainly a means to stimulate the development of digital television. However, cable and satellite operators (TF1, M6 and Canal Plus), which have been designated as leaders of the DTTV process, are reluctant, as they view DTTV as a competitor to their existing platforms. TERRESTRIAL DIGITAL TELEVISION In France, DTTV has been urged by public authorities. Its main goal is to increase the number of channels received by French households and to provide digital television to all. Indeed, in 2002, 52 per cent of French households received only the five unscrambled free-to-air channels (TF1, France 2, France 3, ARTE/La Cinq, M6). 20 per cent received an additional terrestrial pay television channel, Canal Plus. Only 28 per cent received an extended choice of channels, through either cable (14 per cent) or satellite (14 per cent).2 Finally, only 17 per cent received digital television. For the Jospin government, the second goal of DTTV was to stimulate the development of public television (for instance, see Le Guen, 2001). Since the change of government, the role of public television on DTTV has been unclear, as we will see. # This paper is a chapter of a forthcoming book, Digital in Europe. I thank Jérôme Perani and John Wisdom for useful remarks and suggestions. 1 Source: AFORM, TF1, Canal Plus, INSEE.
