According to our colleagues who have visited the premises of Iliad and discuss developments in the service of Free, Freebox V6 will be released in August 2010, with a margin of 3 months before or after or between May and July November 2010. Knowing Iliad, so expect the month of November. To update the Freebox, nothing would be fixed, the current procedure posing problems to the UFC Que Choisir.

More interestingly, Xavier Niel has also talked about his idea of taxing Google. The idea is simple, as the charismatic founder, currently, the traffic Free is about 1 terabit / s. If YouTube has a TV in HD and live to 10 Mbps which is grossly in excess of current flows in 1080p, by the way and that 20% of users are using this service, additional bandwidth reach about 10 terabits per second. A surcharge of 30 million per month for Free, and about 6 € per subscriber, subscriber Iliad does not taxed. And the solution would be to charge the source. Let's just remind that the television service Free, even in HD, not a high cost, since it remains completely in the ISP's network. In fact, Xavier Niel exaggerates a little on the request, his numbers are - voluntarily? High, but the basic problem remains.
