Here's an exterior view of France Telecom's Boston research and development lab, one of the company's 14 labs worldwide. The R&D operation employs a total of 4,200 researchers, 15 of whom are located here in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

France Telecom is pushing R&D as a way to boost innovation and beat its competitors. It plans to raise its R&D budget - currently about €600m or 1.5 per cent of France Telecom's turnover - by 50 per cent from 2005 to 2008.
