		<description>&lt;p&gt;Just bought a property in area 79800 (Bagnault in the Poitou-Charentes, I have a line there already but have difficulty in getting information &quot;in English&quot; to determine if broadband is available there. Wanadoo is not much help. Any ideas? Steve&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Paris is a Wireless City

Ozone is building a pervasive network all over Paris based on Wi-Fi. Its name and SSID is OzoneParis. Ozone aims as well to develop other OzoneCities and OzoneVillages in France.

Ozone is a privately held company funded and run by the French telecom entrepreneur Rafi Haladjian. Rafi is in the telecom business for 15 years, where he brings a strong track record.  

15 of the 20 ‚Äúarrondissements‚Äù(districts) of the city of Paris is ‚Äúcovered‚Äù by OzoneParis. However the coverage of each district varies from 4 point-of-presence (pop) to 20. Some ‚Äúarrondissements‚Äù are quite well covered, like the 13th (south-east part of the City), the 3rd,  10th, and 11th district (downtown Paris). In others, the OzoneParis‚Äôs visibility is less important. In September 2005, OzoneParis is about to cover 28% of the Paris total area.

We are looking everyday for additional pops. We are dealing with all sorts of partners, from privates to institutions, including the city government. For instance, a private person living in an uncovered area might be proposed by Ozone to extend the reach of the OzoneParis wi-fi network by installing a pop on the roof on his proper building. If this person accepts to share this installation, hence becoming a node of OzoneParis, the installation and the connection are free of charge for him, as long as he‚Äòs willing to relay.

OzoneParis offers 3 convenient plans:

 

-          The ‚ÄúTouriste de l‚ÄôOzone‚Äù plan: 1.5 ‚Ç¨ per connect hour, with no monthly fee 

 

Users subscribe directly from a captive portal and pay in sending with is mobile phone a premium (reverse billing) SMS.

 

-          The ‚ÄúResident de l‚ÄôOzone‚Äù plan: 18‚Ç¨ monthly membership fee for unlimited usage.

 

The basic need of our actual users is a fixed-wireless ‚ÄúDSL-like‚Äù broadband home connection. However, thanks to the fast growing development of the OzoneParis coverage, the OzoneParis customers enjoy more and more outdoor usages, with no additional charge.

 

-          OzoneParis could be also free for anyone who wants to support OzoneParis in extending its network. I.e., in hosting an OzoneParis base station, relaying OzoneParis in their area, on the top of the building where they want to be connected.

Ozone has signed in 2004 a roaming agreement with T-Systems (Deutsche Telekom) in order to generate roaming for T-Mobile‚Äôs clients. Ozone is also testing a multiple SSID technology to offer other operators a multi-service provider platform. In addition, OzoneParis customers profit from roaming agreements with all the Ozone licensees and franchisees‚Äô network in France.
