Question 1431 — telecommunications

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Démoulin alerts the Minister of Territorial Cohesion to possible distortions of competition organized by infrastructure operators managing very high-speed public initiative networks (RIP). Some of them promote their retail offer or subsidiary and do not invite to local public meetings all the retail operators contracted with the RIP, and in particular those whose specialty is to address the economic world (business market). The business market is the poor relation of regulation and the corrective actions undertaken by Arcep to strengthen the offer for VSE-SMEs still seem insufficient and will not necessarily contribute to the development of local operators established in the territories. These actions of commercial discrimination have the effect of generating deep dissatisfaction among professionals and companies who think that they only have the choice among residential THD access offers without service guarantees, which is not the case. Furthermore, this selection of operators at the discretion of the RIP manager's commercial collaborators is contrary to article L. 1425-1 of the CGCT which guarantees non-discrimination of retail operators. For the proper development of RIP and the proper use of public funds, it would like to ensure that reinforced control of RIP will be put in place to ensure full compliance with competitive conditions in terms of presentation of commercial offers from retail operators for both residential and professional markets, public authorities not having the role of subsidizing only a few private players but must act in the general interest and even more so when it comes to the economic development of territories to which each elected official is very attached.
