Cegetel launched the service on January 30 and it said it was now available in three French regions: the wider Paris area region Ile de France, northern Nord-Pas de Calais region, and the central Rhone and Auvergne region. Generale des Eaux chairman Jean-Marie Messier said on January 30 that Cegetel had forecast 500,000 residential subscribers and 100,000 professional subscribers for the end of 1998, but he added this target would be overshot. Cegetel is majority-owned by Generale des Eaux and also has Mannesmann , British Telecom and SBC Communications Inc as shareholders.
