YCP in Numbers
Key Challenges We Address
Fiber’s final mile tests deployment economics and adoption
- More than 40 million French premises can access fiber, yet sparsely populated areas cost more to complete and take-up still lags availability.
- Against this backdrop, YCP sizes local demand, prioritizes rollout zones and designs wholesale, pricing and partnership models that improve returns.
Managing the copper switch-off without disrupting customers
- France’s copper network is scheduled to close by 2030, requiring millions of households and businesses to migrate while maintaining service continuity.
- YCP translates the transition into segmented migration journeys, operating-model plans and stakeholder communications that limit churn and delivery risk.
Turning 5G coverage investment into sustainable growth
- Four nationwide mobile operators compete in a mature market with mobile penetration above 100%, making new 5G revenue harder to capture than coverage gains.
- To move beyond connectivity, YCP identifies high-value enterprise use cases, refines go-to-market choices and builds cases for targeted investment.
Raising network resilience amid tighter security obligations
- NIS2 sets a 24-hour early-warning deadline for significant incidents and a 72-hour notification deadline, increasing demands on operators and suppliers.
- With compliance and continuity intertwined, YCP maps critical risks, strengthens governance and shapes practical resilience roadmaps across networks and partners.
