The worse si the adsl flux, the best is the FTTH connexion ratio 

ConclusionsConclusions

The business plan is built with 30% public funding.

From decision, the delay to whole department coverage is 7 years and final coverage 12 years

The client connexion ratio is high in area with poor ADSL and only 5% per year in area with good ADSL. – Regret : the absence of the nationals operators

any regulations made by the authorities

It is possible to built a FTTH network in rural areas to maintain or increase activities while providing 100Mbs access to inhabitants
