The fixed broadband and ultra-fast broadband market (deployments)

Cartefibre.arcep.fr is Arcep'smap tool which aims to improve information for the general public and professionals on fibre-to-the-subscriber deployments. It is part of the [high and very high-speed fixed broadband observatory] (https://www.arcep.fr/cartes-et-donnees/nos-publications-chiffrees/Observatoire-des-abonnements-et-deployments-du-haut-et-tres-haut-debit/latest-chiffres.html) set up by the Authority.

The monitoring of deployments on the fixed broadband and superfast broadband market is the result of the quarterly "Wholesale HD/THD Observatory" collection under Decisions No 2018-0170 and No 2023-0981.

Published data:

All the data published on [cartefibre.arcep.fr] (https://cartefibre.arcep.fr/) is also available in open-data below in 6 separate resources.

5 of them are updated every quarter (YYYY: year, TT: quarter):

• AAAATT-obs-hd-thd-deployment: spreadsheet presenting in several tabs
• developments in unbundling and the wholesale market
• the evolution of eligibility and subscriptions on very high-speed networks (breakdown by large areas)
• the evolution of the number of copper accesses sold on the wholesale market
• the evolution of the number of FTTH connectable premises (breakdown by large areas and infrastructure operators)
• the evolution of the wholesale market in civil engineering

• the evolution of the number of FTTH connectable rooms (disaggregation with different geographical meshes)

• AAAATT-Department: departmental map file including the volume of FTTH connectable premises.

• AAAATT-Commune: municipal map file including the volume of FTTH connectable premises, the infrastructure operators present and the area of deployment.

• AAAATT-Building: text file listing all the buildings identified by the infrastructure operators.

• AAAATT-ZAPM:map file delimiting the contours of the rear areas of the PM.

Two other resources are updated on an ad hoc basis, in the event of changes in the corresponding zoning, and dated per year or quarter of publication (YYYY: year, TT: quarter):

• YYYY - Geographical survey - underlying data: Spreadsheet file showing the geographical survey of deployments of electronic communications networks
• AAAATT-Iris: Map file showing the spatial division of the [regulatory zoning defined by Arcep des Zones très densees (ZTD) into low- and high-density pockets (based on IRIS)] (https://www.arcep.fr/la-regulation/la-dossiers-reseaux-fixes/la-fibre/le-cadre-relatif-a-la-regulation-du-ftth/les-delimitations-des-poches-de-bas-densite-des-zones-tres-denses.html).

More details about the data, formats and projection systems can be found in the descriptions associated with each of these resources.

Glossary:

• Building: means a building of individual or collective type.
• Locations: Buildings contain premises (housing and professional establishments). The estimate of the number of premises within each building is based on the IPE files provided by infrastructure operators (IOs) and on data provided by INSEE from 2018
• PM: Point of mutualisation.
• Local FTTH connector: A room is considered connectable if the building is "deployed" and the PM is "deployed".
