History[edit]
Vivendi announced sometime about March 2014 that it planned to sell its SFR
division.[7] On 14 March it announced that it would enter exclusive negotiations
with Altice/Numericable, to the exclusion of Bouygues and Iliad.[7] Arnaud
Montebourg, the French Minister for Industrial Renewal, provoked a storm when he
stated that the Numericable/SFR deal was a certainty; Iliad lost 7.5% of its market
value on that day.[7]
In February 2016 Orange, SFR and Free announced the purchase of their competitor
Bouygues Telecom. However, negotiations for the purchase agreement fell through a
few months later.[8]
