Wireless Only Vision Ditched By Orange
Orange has a new boss, and that new boss has different ideas. While Orange was known for hyping a "wire-free" future in the past, their new CEO is suddenly talking up the importance of a bundled wireless and wireline offering for consumers, as he struggles to make sure the company is generating enough revenue. This makes sense, to some extent, but the future is still clearly in wireless - and you have to wonder if taking a step in the other direction won't confuse things for the company down the road.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
