Question 16628 — telecommunications

Summary

Mr. Alexandre Vincendet draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial and Digital Sovereignty to the proliferation of telecommunications pylons deployed by operators. He wishes to raise the problem of installing new pylons to support relay antennas in the territories when similar equipment is often already present nearby. While it is necessarily less costly for an operator to mount an existing pylon than to build a new one, the arrival of the Towercos model has reversed this common sense. Local elected officials and, on the front line, mayors, sometimes find themselves helpless in the face of actors who are reluctant to listen to them. Despite the refusals of certain municipalities and the free appeals requested by mayors, the operators obviously persist in their implementation efforts, even after judgments of inadmissibility of their requests by administrative courts. These projects clearly go against the spirit of the law of November 15, 2021 aimed at reducing the environmental footprint of digital technology in France, which was intended to be an incentive but unfortunately not binding in terms of sharing. Finally, the MP wishes to recall that article D. 98-6-1-II of the postal and electronic communications code insists on the fact that operators must encourage, as far as possible, the sharing of radio sites with other users. He therefore wishes to know what clear and effective, therefore binding, measures the State plans to put in place to guarantee compliance with this article by mobile telephone operators and towercos which - it must be remembered - are no longer regulated since the operators (them, regulated by ARCEP) removed their pylons from their assets.
