Bridging the mobile digital divide

At the request of the Senate Finance Committee, the Court conducted an investigation into the very high-speed 4G mobile internet coverage of the nation. The first 4G services were marketed from 2012, although France was initially behind in their deployment compared to its European partners, particularly in rural areas. This had negative consequences for the economy and the development of these areas, as well as causing growing dissatisfaction for people who live or travel there.
