Numericable
Numericable was a major French cable operator and telecommunications services company. The company provides cable broadband services in France, Luxembourg and Portugal, offering digital and analog television, Internet, and mobile phone services. It is a cable television provider and high-speed internet access provider in metropolitan France.
Originally created in 2006 from the merger between Noos and NC Numericable networks, Numericable was listed on the NYSE Euronext in 2013.
In 2014, Numericable made an offer to buy Vivendi's SFR telecommunications affiliate, France's second largest provider, and merged with SFR to form Numericable-SFR. In April 2016, the merged company adopted the SFR name across all its businesses.
From the end of World War II until May 1981, when the French Socialist Party came swept to power with the election of François Mitterrand, the state held a monopoly on the production and distribution of audiovisual programmes on French territory. On July 29, 1982, Law 82-652 abolished the state monopoly and created both a Council and High Authority on Audiovisual Communication to oversee the liberalisation of the French audiovisual sector.
In 1982, the National Cable Plan was approved, with the ambitious goal of connecting one million households within five years and using the most advanced techniques of the time, including fiber-optic technology. In order to finance the project, a public-private partnership was put in place that allowed private operators to utilise the networks set up by France Telecom to commercial ends.
Regulations provided for highly favourable concessions that were awarded to private operators (up to 99 years). Water and Sewage Treatment service providers often diversified into the cable market and used their close ties with local municipalities to win concessions.
On June 6, 1985, the group Lyonnaise des eaux created the company Paris Câble, which would later become Lyonnaise Câble, Noos, and Numericable. Officially launched on November 25, 1986, the launch of the National Cable Plan marked the start of the commercial use of cable networks in Paris. In 1996, 16 regional operators merged into a national player, Lyonnaise Communications.
In May 2000, Noos became the brand name of Lyonnaise Communications in a move that was accompanied by the harmonization of Lyonnaise’s cable networks. Following its national expansion strategy, Noos took over the cable television assets of French group NTL in November 2001.
