French telecoms operator Orange is partnering with Amazon to combine their respective voice assistant technology, chief executive officer Stephane Richard said on Wednesday.

The former monopoly, whose own voice assistant is dubbed Djingo, is the second French telecom operator to join forces in the field with Amazon after Iliad, whose new high-end set-top box includes the US tech giant's voice assistant Alexa.
