Numericable to offer 4G free to subs for one year

French cable operator Numericable is making its 4G mobile service free of charge to existing La Box subscribers for the first year.

Subscribers to Numericable’s existing €45.90 offering will be able to use the 4G mobile service at no extra charge for one year, after which they will be charged €9 a month.

Numericable has also said it will offer the mobile service to all subscribers between now and the end of February.

Numericable’s 4G service, announced last week, is provided over the network of Vivendi-owned telco SFR.
