Dissent at heart of telecom industry undermines France’s 5G push

A group of employees of Orange SA called repeatedly for management to scrap the rollout of 5G services in memos circulated to colleagues on the Plazza social media platform. The memos, issued in October 2019 and in May of this year, said the technology will be unprofitable and will damage the environment, according to three people familiar with their content.

Unlike neighbouring countries, France has not begun to deploy commercial 5G, which advocates say will enable applications from digital factories to driverless cars and supercharged smartphones. Orange “reaffirms the importance of 5G technology for the country’s competitiveness and its major usefulness in accelerating the environmental transition”, the spokesman added.The government has resisted calls to delay the auction of 5G frequencies set for Sept 29 that will begin the national rollout.

“Orange will bear all the heavy investments that will benefit other companies at the bottom of the food chain and possibly the state,” the authors wrote.
