274 MUNICIPALITIES ARE COMMUNES FIBRÉES
As part of the THD42 programme funded by SIEL-Territoire d’énergie Loire, the Loire’s EPCIs (inter-municipal bodies) with tax-raising powers, the State and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes Region, 274 municipalities will be equipped with FTTH.
This exceptional scheme, the only one of its kind in France*, makes Loire one of the most advanced areas in the country, and even in Europe.
As the scheme’s sponsor, SIEL-Territoire d’énergie Loire has registered the commune fibrée® trade mark to use as a “label” to boost dynamism at local level. It will mainly be visible on signs as you drive into towns and villages. This label is awarded to municipalities that have 100% of their buildings connectable with FTTH.
The aim is to:
‐ To promote and enhance the attractiveness of the territory.
‐ To create a club of municipalities.
‐ To boost local dynamism in favour of fibre optics and the digital transition.
‐ To set up communication actions specially dedicated to the communes fibrées.
*optical terminal socket included.
The commune fibrée® is free for the municipalities situated in the area covered by the THD42 network.
Municipalities with the label get:
‐ From SIEL-Territoire d’énergie Loire a pair of metal signs for the roads into the town, size 500 × 350 mm (single visual, non-personalisable).
‐ The possibility of ordering extra signs for €50 ex VAT each (cost price).
‐ The possibility of using the commune fibrée® name and logo on all its communication materials and on those of its partners, including real estate advertisements.
