Large fine for unethical business practices
In 2005 along with SFR and Orange SA, Bouygues Telecom was found by the Autorité de la concurrence (the French competition body) to have acted against the best interests of consumers and the economy by sharing confidential information between 1997 and 2003. The three companies were collectively fined €535 million in total. In November 2007 Bouygues Telecom went to court seeking cancellation on its edition.
High Court ruling to remove base station
In February 2009 the company was ordered to take down a mobile phone mast due to uncertainty about its effect on health. Residents in the commune Charbonnières in the Rhône department had sued the company claiming adverse health effects from the radiation emitted by the 19 meter tall antenna. The milestone ruling by the Versailles Court of Appeal reversed the burden of proof which is usual in such cases by emphasizing the extreme divergence between different countries in assessing safe limits for such radiation. The court stated that, "Considering that, while the reality of the risk remains hypothetical, it becomes clear from reading the contributions and scientific publications produced in debate and the divergent legislative positions taken in various countries, that uncertainty over the harmlessness of exposure to the waves emitted by relay antennas persists and can be considered serious and reasonable".
Erroneous phone bill
In October 2012 the company charged Solenne San Jose 11,721,000,000,000,000 euros for her phone usage. The company initially offered Solenne San Jose that she could repay in installments, before finally admitting that the bill was wrong and waived the charge.
Bicycle racing team
