Further to my previous comment, here is another press release:

http://www.arcep.fr/index.php?id=8571&L=1&tx_gsactualite_pi1[uid]=214&tx_gsactualite_pi1[annee]=0&tx_gsactualite_pi1[theme]=0&tx_gsactualite_pi1[motscle]=WLAN%20Wifi&tx_gsactualite_pi1[backID]=2122&cHash=48ad69deb0

Indicating that all 100 departements now allow the same conditions as 
those applied to the 58 listed in the previous document.

Oh, and:

has some diagrams showing this and detailing some more information about
