Rodrigo Sepúlveda Schulz reports that France is bracing for a big broadband price war and it is going to get even more ridiculous. He points out that even covering costs is going to be tough. free.Fr is now offering 15Mb/month for 29.99 €/month while others are offering 8Mb/s at 14,99€/month. Noos, a cable operator - is offering 10Mb/s for only 10€/month. Wow! That’s a lot of bandwidth at very low prices.
