France Telecom plans to counter-sue Numericable

France Telecom is planning to counter-sue Numericable, considering the cable operator’s US$4.28 billion damages claim against it as frivolous.
Numericable has sued the company for changing the way the two companies manage access to France Telecom’s underground network through which Numericable’s cables run, arguing that it was negatively affected by the modifications.
An initial dispute on the matter was brought before regulator Arcep, which ruled in France Telecom’s favor.
