Noos-UPC, one of the three cable and telephone operators in France (the other two: NC Numéricâble and France Telecom Cables) announced on 6 September 2006 at the meeting of the central works council ('comité central d'entreprise', CCE) that between November and December 2006, as many as 900 jobs (administrative, technical, ) could be lost. The company currently employs 1,300 people. The cable sector in France is undergoing a wild competition from the satellite in paying television and from telecommunications operators.
