And in the case of Tesla, repair, service and maintenance are a nightmare for motorists. A damning investigation, summarized in the full article, reveals many shortcomings, as the number of vehicles sold by the brand worldwide has seen strong growth in 2021.

The copper network is not energy efficient according to Free
The shutdown of the copper network is a subject generally covered by Orange. As’French universal operator, Orange (formerly France Telecom) must provide a “minimum” service to all French people. And this goes through the copper network for which the company invests money for its maintenance (amount which comes from the fee paid by all the operators). This money, Orange would prefer to use it to strengthen its fiber optic network. That’s why the incumbent is so keen to get rid of it.
