  • Bouygues Telecom and SFR Conclude a Strategic Agreement to Share a Part of Their Mobile Access Networks
    Paris, 31 January 2014 Press release Bouygues Telecom and SFR conclude a strategic agreement to share a part of their mobile access networks Bouygues Telecom and SFR have just signed an agreement to share a part of their mobile access networks, following a period of negotiations that started in July 2013. This agreement will enable both operators to provide their respective customers better coverage outside and inside buildings as well as better quality of service by optimising their shared network coverage. Accordingly, Bouygues Telecom and SFR are to roll out a new, shared network in an area covering 57% of the French population (France excluding its 32 biggest urban areas of more than 200,000 inhabitants and blind spots). The agreement will enable the two operators to improve their mobile coverage and generate significant savings. There are two parts to this agreement: - on the one hand, the companies will create a dedicated joint venture to manage the shared base station assets; - on the other, they will enter into a RAN-sharing agreement covering 2G, 3G and 4G services in the shared area mentioned above. Each operator will retain its own innovation capacity, as well as complete commercial and pricing independence, and will carry on offering distinctive services thanks to continued control over their network backbone and frequencies. This agreement between Bouygues Telecom and SFR to share a part of their mobile networks is along the lines of many other similar arrangements already existing in other European countries. It will take effect upon signature and the shared network is expected to be completed by the end of 2017.

  • Bouygues Telecom Launches the Innovative Bbox Smart TV, a New Generation Fixed Triple-Play1 Offer That Replaces the Box with a Connected TV
    Bouygues Telecom launches the innovative Bbox Smart TV, a new generation fixed triple-play1 offer that replaces the box with a Connected TV Paris, 28 May 2020 – Today, Bouygues Telecom is launching Bbox Smart TV, a new innovative triple-play offer concept that meets user expectations in terms of technology and simplicity. The TV decoder disappears and is replaced with an app called B.TV+, which is exclusively pre-installed in a Samsung Smart TV, giving access to a very large catalogue of televisual services. This ground-breaking move in the market is due to customer demand for a simpler installation and user experience and for access to the ever-expanding content universe, especially the SVoD2 services provided by current and future OTT3 players. Since 2015 and the launch of Bbox Miami based on Android TV technology, Bouygues Telecom’s customers have been able to customize their experience according to their desires thanks to multiple partnerships and by connecting their TV to the web before anyone else. Today, getting rid of the TV box means fewer cables, fewer remote controls and more ease of use. These are the visible advantages of the Bbox Smart TV offer, but most of the improved experience comes from the B.TV+ app itself. The app will be available on Tuesday 2 June 2020, the launch day of the Bbox Smart TV offer. It will be pre-installed and directly accessible on all 2019 and 2020 Samsung Smart TV models in service at that date. Bbox Smart TV customers will thus be able to enjoy the 151 TV 1 Includes digital TV, broadband internet and telephony 2 Subscription Video On Demand 3 Over the top channels, 14 catch-up channels and 83 pay-TV channels offered by B.TV+ at launch, providing some of the most popular content in France4.
