SFR (originally ''Société Française de Radiotéléphonie'', no longer expanded) is a French Mobile Phone company. It has 17 million clients, including (as of January 2007) over 2 million using 3G (specifically UMTS) technology. It also offers services on the island of Réunion through SRR (''Société Réunionnaise du Radiotéléphone'') although the company is branded as SFR Réunion . It is currently 56% owned by the French group Vivendi and 44% by mobile phone giant, Vodafone . Rumours often circulate concerning the possibility of Vodafone increasing its shareholding, but Vodafone's recent sale of minority shares in mature markets such as Belgium and Switzerland, and its recent interest in emerging markets such as Turkey and India, suggest that such an increase is not an immediate prospect. In 2006, along with Bouygues Télécom and Orange SA , it was ordered to pay 535 million Euros by way of fine for the formation of an illegal Cartel (see '' Le Canard Enchaîné '').
