Orange is reportedly preparing to close OPTV (Orange Prestations TV), a media supply chain specialist and one of its last French subsidiaries tied to the group's dismantled 'Content' arm, according to information gathered by Les Echos on April 30, 2026. Earlier on the same day, Jean Coumaros, President and CEO of Bleu—the French sovereign cloud services company jointly created by Capgemini and Orange in January 2024—was noted for his role in building a trusted cloud platform designed to meet France’s stringent security and data sovereignty requirements. Also on April 30, Sosh, Orange's budget brand in France, launched a new top-tier fibre-only plan, Sosh Boost Fibre, offering download speeds of up to 8 Gbps for EUR 26.99 per month across Orange's XGS-PON network. Previously, on April 29, Orange’s group CTO Laurent Leboucher indicated the company is considering a strategic shift from custom application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) to general-purpose processors, such as those from Nvidia, for its 5G radio access network (RAN), citing escalating costs of custom silicon ahead of a request for proposal.
