News Summary:
On January 29, 2026, optical fibre subcontractor PCE Services entered judicial liquidation, resulting in 200 job cuts for the Ligerian SME after experiencing strong growth in the preceding five years. Previously, on January 20, Altitude Infra and the Deposit Fund finalized the long-term refinancing of their subsidiary Fibre 31. This refinancing supports Fibre 31's Public Service Delegation (DSP), attributed by the Haute-Garonne Numérique syndicate since May 2018, for the design, establishment, operation, commercialization, and financing of very high-speed broadband in Haute-Garonne. Earlier, on December 16, 2025, Altitude Infra partnered with the Dunkerque Urban Community (CUD) to accelerate the deployment of the 5G network, aiming to address upcoming professional digital uses. This acceleration occurs as France progresses toward the end of its ADSL copper network, with its progressive closure beginning on January 31, 2025, and a total shutdown projected by 2030, necessitating a transition to fiber optic internet access nationwide.
