Speaking of the French. The following is from Alcatel's web site! TELECOMS WEEK SHOW: ALCATEL RECEIVES THE "JURY'S SPECIAL PRIZE" FOR THE BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE YEAR Alcatel: 1st supplier of mobile handsets in France in 1998 Paris, November 26, 1998 – On the occasion of the "Telecoms Week show"which is being held on Paris from November 24 to 27, Alcatel has been awarded the "jury's special prize" for the best industrial performance of the year for its range of GSM telephones. The jury consisted of journalists and professionals from the mobile telecom sector. Georges Rouilleaux, President of the Telecoms Week handed over the prize to Patrick Liot, president of Alcatel's professional and consumer activities, in front of an audience of some one thousand professionals from the telecommunications and mobile telephony sector. "With almost 10% of the world's GSM mobile telephone market and over 40% of the French market, Alcatel is now a leading player, commented Georges Rouilleaux. Thanks to the innovative, complete and highly varied One Touch™ range, Alcatel has pushed forward the world of mobile telephony by proposing a telephone dedicated to each type of user" commented Georges Rouilleaux. "Mobile telephones are becoming an integral part of our social life, like fashion accessories, and they must reflect our personality" stated Patrick Liot. "Surfing on the success of One Touch(TM) EASY, of which 6 million units were sold in the world, we have developed a range which combines performance and dedicated functions with an increasingly carefully targeted design. 1998 sales of Alcatel GSM terminals will soon reach 8 million units, which is almost 3 times the 1997 figure. This has become possible thanks to the modernization of our two production sites at Laval (Mayenne) and Illkirch (Alsace) which produce 50,000 mobile telephones per day » he added. The One Touch range features 4 new models: the One Touch(TM) MAX for adolescents, the One Touch(TM) CLUB+ which comes in a range of metallized colours for a more conventional clientele, the One Touch(TM) VIEW designed for users who are the most demanding in terms of user-friendliness, thanks to its large screen, and finally the One Touch(TM) POCKET equipped with a vibrating call alerter and a modem, aiming at a more professional market segment. This latter model will soon be available in an Internet Ready version which will give owners access to on-line services.
