Neuf Cegetel Offers Free International Calls

The French telecoms marketplace is one of the most competitive -- Neuf Cegetel, France's second-largest fixed-line telecommunications operator, said Friday that it's offering free international phone calls, following Iliad SA's move Thursday.

The enhanced offer underscores the efforts telecom operators are making to stem the erosion of their client base in the face of competition from free Voice Over Internet Protocol (VoIP) telephone offers from companies like Skype.

In an emailed statement, Neuf Cegetel said it would offer free international calls from France to anywhere in the European Union, North America, India and China beginning December 25. The offer also includes free calls to cell phones in North America.

Neuf Cegetel said the offer is valid for its fully unbundled subscribers, or those who don't pay incumbent France Telecom for their home phone line.

How AI Reshapes a $360 Billion Foundry Market

Few technology sectors sit as close to the center of gravity in today's artificial intelligence (AI) economy as semiconductor manufacturing. Every AI chip that trains a frontier model, every GPU that powers a data center inference workload, and every power management IC that keeps hyperscaler facilities running traces its origins back to the global Foundry ecosystem. IDC's latest market study throws that reality into sharp relief, projecting that the broadly defined Foundry 2.0 market will surpass $360 billion in 2026, a 17 percent year-over-year gain that would have seemed optimistic even two years ago. For anyone advising boards or investment committees on technology and AI infrastructure strategy, this growth trajectory demands careful consideration. Foundry 2.0 Market Development The umbrella term covers four distinct verticals: pure-play foundry, non-memory integrated device manufacturer (IDM) production, outsourced semiconductor assembly and test (OSAT), and photomask fab...
