French postal operator La Poste has held talks with mobile operator SFR over the launch of its own mobile service.
The move would see the La Poste brand branch into the telecommunications market via SFR – a subsidiary of Vivendi.
La Poste said in a prepared statement that if the two companies reach an agreement, a common subsidiary would be created, of which La Poste would hold a majority stake.
Financial details were not made available.
