> France to invest €20bn in high-speed broadband for the entire country
> 
> Summary: French president François Hollande wants very high-speed broadband to reach every household in the country by 2023 - a plan that will need private as well as public investment.


...

> While Hollande has not set out what speeds users could expect from the rollout, French telecoms regulator Arcep defines high-speed broadband as above 50Mbps download and 5Mbps upload speeds. Nor has the government prescribed what technologies will be used for the deployment: FTTH is likely to be the main contender, with others such as 4G filling in the gaps.
