According to domestic news source L'Informe, Bouygues Telecom and SFR are seeking financial compensation for having to remove and replace Huawei's radio equipment

......

According to L’Informe, Bouygues and SFR are looking to recoup the costs involved in ripping out and replacing the Huawei equipment, which both companies have been doing since 2021.

It's reported that Bouygues said its costs to do so have amounted to €82 million ($90m), noting that this only covers a small portion of the 3,000 antennas that will need to be replaced by 2028.

SFR has not yet disclosed the figure it's seeking, but the operator needs to replace more than 8,000 antennas by the same deadline, meaning this cost is expected to exceed Bouygues' claims.
