The Autorité de Régulation des Telecoms (ART) had defined three options containing the wholesale offers proposed by France Telecom's alternative operators to Internet service providers wishing to market broadband Internet access (ADSL).
Option three provided for the concession by France Telecom of part of its virtual circuits to a third party operator so that the latter would be in a position to offer ADSL Internet services to Internet service providers in competition with France Telecom's offer.
