Subscriber numbers are also on the rise, with the number of unique owners in France set to climb from 42.3 million to 44.4 million by 2007 – a penetration rate of 83%. Increasing ownership and ARPU will lead to increasing revenues, with a year on year growth of 3.5% forecast up until 2007.
The mix of voice and data services in France is changing, with data as a percentage of ARPU rising to 19% by 2007.
