With the drop in prices for mobile plans for many French people have made the decision to do without their box at home and use only the smartphone to connect all their internet devices.
At Grau-du-Roi, Annie and Jean-Claude Darmon left their box behind. They now use their internet phone. “”With my husband, we share connection when I need it. As it is a pied-à-terre in which we stay 5-6 months, we thought that it was not worth having a box, to pay a box, we could not see the utility. ” confides the retiree.
Currently, the price of telephone packages decreases, the number of gigas explodes. Going up in Paris, these students did not crowd a box. The two roommates have an almost inexhaustible telephone package. For this generation, connection sharing is fuel to power their computer, but also the biggest screens. “” “I connect my computer, it’s an HDMI cable, and then I turn on TV, and that’s it. For the use we have, it works very well, and I think we don’t want to spend money for something that already works very well for us, and therefore no need to buy a box.”Indicates Timéo Bailluet, a student.
Could connection sharing via the phone then replace the Internet boxes? “” “It is a phenomenon that increases. Typically, the student category, accommodation, student apartment, it works very well with a mobile connection. And on the other hand, we will still have a part of the population who needs to have more classic equipment. ” Reveals Renaud Kayanakis, a telecom consultant for SIA Partners.
