Fiber: Orange no longer wants to buy TDF's billion-dollar networks 22/01/2024

TDF's owners are seeking at least 1.5 billion euros for their fiber networks.
TDF owns a fiber network of 750,000 outlets in six départements, representing around 7% of its sales in 2022.
Orange currently owns the largest fiber network in France.
Orange Concessions, 50%-owned by Caisse des Dépôts, CNP Assurances and EDF Invest, has a significant footprint with 24 networks.
200 people are responsible for maintaining TDF networks.
Anglo-Saxon infrastructure funds are among the potential buyers, including the Igneo fund, which is already a co-shareholder in a 10,000 km fiber network in Germany, and DIF Capital Partners, which already co-owns fiber networks in Ardèche and Drôme.

Orange considers buying TDF's fiber network, valued at 1 billion euros 08/09/2023

Patrick Drahi plans to spin off his TDF fiber-optic network.
TDF comprises three activities: the fiber network, broadcasting (television and radio broadcasting) and telecom towers.
Since 2017, TDF has diversified into fiber with a small network of 750,000 outlets in five départements.
TDF's fiber business saw its growth jump by almost 43%, with 52 million euros in sales.
TDF is one of the smallest networks in the country, but 80% of the outlets have been completed and around 40% are marketed.
Orange Concessions is considering buying TDF. It is France's number-one fiber operator, with 35.5 million outlets.
Other potential candidates for the purchase of TDF include Vauban Infra Fibre (allied with Axione, with 6 million contracted outlets) and Altitude (5 million contracted outlets and 1 million connected households).
