'A La Carte' Cable May Not Be Appetizing

Iliad's Chief Financial Officer Olivier Rosenfeld shows the Freebox in Iliad SA headquarters in Paris, Wednesday Feb.22, 2006. For 30 euro ($35.50) a month, some 1.5 million French subscribers to Iliad SA's Freebox get broadband Internet, unlimited phone calls and over 80 TV channels, with additional ones billed individually.
