NO. They peer like any other regular peers. Common shareholders don't mean very much to either of them. Network teams are totally disjoint. To my knowledge Online.net (recently renamed Scaleway) does not sell transit, and Free is not intereseted in neither peering (settelement-free) nor selling small amounts. The only viable alternative to reach Free seems to be hopus.net, where Free is present and pushing traffic. That's a partial transit service, where you pay (quite a lot) for outbound and get paid for inbound (just don't expect anything meaningful for less then 1Gbps in). You can reach them directly at TH2/Voltaire or via France-IX (which may be interesting if you're already on their/our fabric and have less than 2-3 Gbps in). They have a unique billing model - fill their information form for more info. They are also a decent choice (technically good, price-wise - you decide) for reaching some other "difficult to peer" networks (Orange FR, DTAG, UPC).
