La Poste provides to diversify in the area of the mobile telephony
According to ”les Echos”, ”La Poste” Group, a limited company since March 1st, expects to diversify into the field of mobile telephony with its own brand launched within a year. This should be a distribution that is based on the postal network with 17 000 relay in France. In additoon, the group set a target of 1.5 to 2 million customers in three or four years.
The project is called Chrome internally and should be presented at the next Board of Diectorrs of the Group. It will be held on March 11. If that’s validated, the tender will be launched later to find a partner to lease the network and sign an agreement by next September.
In addition, this new activity would be a new source of revenue for La Poste in order to balance the decline in mail (it is estimated that 30% deline in volumes delivered between 2008 and 2015), this applies to the meter to the gas supplier Butagaz and for the installation of ”TNT” for indiituals.
Finally, it is worth to remember that some banksalready offer mobile packages in addition to their normal banking services. In case this is not a MVNO, strictly speaking, banks still rely on a virtual operator in which they are shareholders.
