Since then, Orange is the sole brand of France Telecom for landline and Internet services worldwide, with a few exceptions, such as [[Mobistar]] in Belgium and [[Orange Polska|TPSA]] in Poland. Orange's [[triple play (telecommunications)|triple-play]] broadband Internet offers are supplied through the [[Orange Livebox|Livebox]]. {{As of|2010|12|31|post=,}} Orange has 13.7 million broadband [[ADSL]] customers worldwide, 67% of whom are in France40. The [[Orange Livebox|Livebox]] is the [[ADSL modem]] supplied to Orange's ADSL and FTTH customers in [[France]], the [[United Kingdom]], the [[Netherlands]], [[Switzerland]], [[Spain]] and [[Tunisia]], and to [[WiMAX]] customers in Cameroon. It serves as a bridge between the Internet access and the home network through several communication interfaces ([[Bluetooth]], [[Ethernet]], [[Wi-Fi]]). The Livebox has evolved over time. The Livebox 1.0 was replaced by version 1.1, the Mini Livebox, followed by the Livebox 2.0. The newest version was scheduled to be rolled out in 2012. The Livebox is offered on a monthly contract for €3 per month or for purchase for €59. The Number of Liveboxes rented in 2008,this statistic reflects Orange's significant market penetration and growth in the broadband internet sector. With 7.3 million Liveboxes rented out, Orange experienced a notable 12.3% increase in just one year.<ref name="Parc Livebox en 2008"/> === Broadcasting === Beginning in 2003, Orange's strategy has centred on the acquisition, creation and diffusion of content. This starts with the creation of MaLigne.tv in 2003, later renamed [[Orange TV]], an ADSL television access service and a video-on-demand service. In 2004, Orange organised a television access service for mobile phones. In 2007, Orange created {{Interlanguage link|Studio 37|fr|3=Orange studio}} and, in 2008, entered into a partnership with France Televisions to broadcast pre-recorded programming from the public national television and to roll out themed channels for sports, cinema and television series. Orange dubbed the strategy '''Content Everywhere''' in 2008, announcing it simultaneously with the launch of the Orange cinema series television channels and aimed to offer customers access to all content available through Orange's services, anywhere and from any device. ==== OCS ==== {{Main|OCS (TV channel)}} Orange Cinema Series is launched 13 November 2008, along with Orange Sport; it comprises five channels devoted to movies (Orange Ciné Max, Ciné Happy, Ciné Choc, Ciné Novo, Ciné Géant). The channels primarily show films from the [[Warner Bros.]] and [[HBO]] catalogues. Orange installs additional [[Video on demand|VOD]] services on its channels, allowing viewers to watch programmes broadcast in the previous 30 days whenever they like, as well as supplementary programmes from the previous month.{{Citation needed|date=August 2022}} ==== Orange Sport ==== Orange Sport is launched 13 November 2008. Orange secures the broadcast rights for the Saturday evening line-up of [[Ligue 1]] matches from season 2008/2009 to season 2011/2012, and the rights to home matches of eight [[Serie A]] clubs ([[U.C. Sampdoria|Sampdoria]], [[Atalanta B.C.|Atalanta]], [[A.C. ChievoVerona|Chievo]], [[Reggina]], [[A.C. Siena|Siena]], [[U.S. Città di Palermo|Palermo]], [[Udinese]] and [[S.S.C. Napoli|Napoli]]). The acquisition of these rights marks the start of competition for sports programs with the Canal+ group. ==== Video on demand ==== {{Main|Video on demand}} Orange offers services for video on demand access using the Orange decoder, a computer or a mobile phone. Orange offers free programming from the catalogues of available works of France Television,<ref name="Orange propose la VOD France télévision"/> M6 <ref name="Orange propose M6 replay"/> and TF1 <ref name="Orange propose mytf1"/> for one week after their initial broadcast. ==== Online entertainment ==== In 1997, France Telecom created Goa, an online entertainment subsidiary. The site is launched as a platform for players of massively multiplayer online games. In 2002, Goa acquires the operating license for [[Dark Age of Camelot]]. In 2007 Goa ceases to be a subsidiary and is merged into Orange. In 2009 Orange refocuses Goa.com on online entertainment and gradually ceases to operate massively multiplayer online games. In August 2010, goa.com disappears to become the Orange Jeux portal.<ref name="Goa devient Orange Jeux"/> === Music === {{Interlanguage link|Liveradio|fr}}: Created by Orange in 2008, Liveradio is a free, live, on-demand IP radio streaming service. Users gain access through this service to more than 10,000 FM and web radio stations and 11,000 podcasts from 100 countries.
