From May 24 to June 7, 2009, Orange will be inviting its guests to discover two major innovations in connection with the French Open: 3D and 24/24 actu, the first 100% TV, press and radio news engine
In partnership with France Télévisions, Orange will be repeating its 3D TV experiment from May 31 to June 7, setting up a live 3D channel for all the matches played on the center court (Philippe Chatrier) all the way through to the final.

Orange will be inviting its guests to discover 24/24 actu, the new exclusive internet service that will in the next few months make it possible for all web users to access the first 100% TV, press and radio news engine.
