What iliad does
iliad operates a multi-brand group built on owned telecom infrastructure and subscription relationships, then extends that base into adjacent digital infrastructure services. It creates value by acquiring and retaining consumer and business customers through low-cost connectivity offers, while monetising additional B2B demand via business telecom, cloud compute and storage, and merchant payment processing.
Category differentiation
iliad is the French telecom and digital infrastructure group, not a single cloud vendor or a media publisher. It should not be confused with unrelated companies using the Iliad name in publishing or software.

Company news briefing
Briefing updated:
Groupe iliad has reached a significant milestone in its acquisition of SFR by signing a memorandum of understanding, while simultaneously finalising its position as the majority shareholder of Tele2 to expand into the Nordic and Baltic markets. These moves, alongside the selection of its subsidiary Scaleway to host the French Health Data Hub, underscore the group’s dual focus on pan-European telecommunications consolidation and the development of sovereign cloud infrastructure to reduce dependence on non-European technology providers.
Business model & monetisation
The primary monetisation model is recurring subscription revenue from consumer and business telecom plans, including broadband, fibre, television bundles and mobile subscriptions. Secondary monetisation comes from usage-based cloud billing at Scaleway on a pay-as-you-go basis, transaction and acquiring fees at Stancer, and wholesale or bundled network-related revenues across the telecom estate.
