PARIS (MarketWatch) -- France Telecom's (FTE:32.59, +0.36, +1.1%) Orange
brand is contemplating the prospect of not being able to launch Apple Corp.'s (AAPL:
161.45, +5.21, +3.3%) iPhone in France in time for Christmas due to
tensions between the two companies, French daily Les Echos reports Friday.
"The risk we're evaluating this week is that Apple crosses France off," Les Echos quotes a source at Orange as saying.
The difficulties stem from a French law that would require the iPhone to be sold both with and without contracts, undermining its exclusivity for Orange and Apple's demand of up to 30% of voice and data revenues, Les Echos reports.
