Orange UK revenue grew 2.3 percent this Q1 to \u20ac1.82 billion, though, following confirmation of its merger with T-Mobile UK, parent France Telecom (NYSE: FTE<\/a>) is now disregarding it in its business reporting.<\/p>\n

Too bad. The parent saw less income in every region except Rest Of World, as it reported 5.5 percent lower EBITDA of \u20ac3.76 billion on 2.7 percent smaller income of \u20ac10.9 billion.\n<\/p>\n

The group says European regulatory measures forcing telcos to reduce call termination fees wiped \u20ac270 million of its quarterly income, and will hit it by “about \u20ac1 billion” over the whole year.<\/p>\n

Data revenue in its native France jumped 24.1 percent from the previous year, nearly a third of network income. And Orange TV customers there jumped 34 percent to 2.9 million – France is a world leader for IPTV take-up, and Orange is ahead of the pack in France. Orange TV clocked up 2.7 million pay-per-view buys during the quarter – that’s 53 percent up from Q1 2009.<\/p>\n

It’s now committing 12 percent of its income to capital expenditure, notably fitting out France with a fibre optic network.<\/p>\n
