Page move / spelling
I moved this page, because France Télécom seems to be the official spelling. I'm now fixing up links... Shinobu 01:11, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Since many international users may not be familiar with the French spelling, I will a) advice everyone to keep the redirect in place and b) explain in the article that France Télécom is the French spelling, and France Telecom the international spelling.
 * Incidentally, some pages apparently used the French spelling for the link text, while retaining the old article name for the link itself.
 * I hope that these few edits have solved that problem and have cleared up any possible questions. Shinobu 01:53, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * Although this page isn't quite serious the argument given there is (probably) genuine and reads in English:
 * Dear Sir,
 * Just like you justly remarked France Télécom bears accents when it's name is used in a French text. However, when "France Telecom" is added to the logo, it gains an international dimension and therefore bears no accents.
 * Interesting, n'est-ce pas? Shinobu 12:01, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Spelling
Hello

France Telecom is the official spelling even in France. (one employee of FT)


 * I agree: there is no accent to the company name, even in France. The whole page should renamed France Telecom with a redirection from France Télécom to France Telecom. Dchoulette (talk) 15:57, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

This article seems to be missing references to globecast, and the map is missing Australia. Is this intentional?

Hello,

France Telecom is the official spelling even in France (another FT employee) and has been since 1993:

Note: http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/france-telecom-group-history/

Quote: During the 1990s, France Telecom began entering other opening international markets, including Argentina, Mexico, Indonesia, Senegal, and, in 1997, Vietnam. In recognition of its own growing international nature, the company removed the accents from the spelling of its name, becoming France Telecom in 1993. Unquote

Newspaper Le Monde writes France Télécom with accents: http://www.lemonde.fr/economie/article/2012/07/06/suicides-chez-france-telecom-l-ancien-numero-deux-mis-en-examen_1730309_3234.html. British newspaper The Times also writes it with accents, although I can't provide a link since you need to be logged in to view articles. However, you can go to The Times' web site http://www.thetimes.co.uk/tto/news/ and do a search on "France Telecom", and you'll see on the headlines that are returned that they accentuate it also. So I say we leave the Wikipedia entry accentuated. Mpj81 (talk) 21:37, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

Huh
Hello, the "Service quality and connection availability" section looks like a competitor negative ad... With of course not a single source to support such negative claims. I simply think it should be removed as POV (if anything worse). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.65.175.110 (talk) 23:42, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

What a shame to let such non objective arguments without any figures. Show me a service provider that have no costumer complaining about their broadband boxes and I'll show you a liar. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.12.110.201 (talk) 10:44, 5 November 2009 (UTC)


 * The fact that some see the reports as negative reflect actual negative situations. These can all be documented, documented information is not biased, it is a statement of fact. To deliberately be sold 8mb when the seller KNOWS its only good for .8 is wrong, and factual!!

To remove the factual but negative reflections on FT means that only the positive remain so in FT's case should one totally remove its wikepedia comments. It is also factual that a large percentage of FT clients are really hacked off. In fact to date have not found one favourable client comment even from employees. I have gotten the following from contractors, they do not even read their own instructions and wonder why stuff does not work. Show me ONE client who is happy with FT / Orange. Just 1 thats all just one here in France. I would treat him to a dinner with perhaps a million others who are not. Incidentally I have no router modem complainants on private boxes apart from one that failed just after being set up. Live boxes (or associated FT problems) virtually every french person that has a live box. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.54.48.165 (talk) 21:15, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Some changes
Orange is now also in Uganda ... I wonder if someone can have Uganda Painted in in Orange. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.49.70.11 (talk) 17:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

How to contact them?
I found one of their job ads on DICE, but it has no e-mail address and their Web site likewise has no e-mail address. Does anybody here know how to contact them by e-mail to apply for the job? 198.144.192.45 (talk) 17:31, 27 March 2011 (UTC) Twitter.Com/CalRobert (Robert Maas)

 * Look for "Help"/"Employment"/"Join the Team" advertisements. Usually it brings you to an online form. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:04, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
