So are you implying that the operators (and perhaps Apple) are simply soaking their iPhone customers or just trying to promote Android phones because they're more lucrative (ie, lower cost, but same subscription cost)?
I'm also implying that maybe under Apple's pressure, maybe with their cooperation, maybe against their will, the various french mobile operators settled on a common price for the iPhone that is way higher than when Orange had a monopoly, which is illegal as far as I know.
"The French market is showing increasing signs of price sensitivity" really is an euphemism for "The French see what you did there, Orange, Bouygues Telecom & SFR". Android has nothing to do with it, really.
