The "The Economics of Telecoms" report, published in 2013 by Arthur D. Little for the Fédération Française des Télécoms, highlights the significant contribution of the telecom sector to the French economy. Despite a challenging environment, telecom operators are maintaining their level of investment, which has resulted in a multiplier effect on the economy as a whole. The report also notes that the European approach needs to change to favor investments and that there are two issues that should be addressed as priorities. These include efficiency improvements for economic players and the need to ensure that telecom operators are fairly taxed. The report concludes by calling for a digital New Deal to further support the growth of the telecom sector and the French economy.
