This network is part of a pilot program of 7 FTTH networks funded by the French State and regional authorities. The Chevry Cossigny network was officially inaugurated on July 27 2011 by Mr Francois Besson, French State Minister for the Industry, Energy and Digital Economy. During this visit, The CATV and Data services were demonstrated over the ELCON gateway.
