<<France is moving decisively into the era of free Internet access.>>

Keep in mind, they have no or very few ISPs in France and have been resistant to the internet.

The reason: Minitel

Minitel is a proprietary system for something like $30 US you get a cheap dumb terminal that dials into a bulletin board system owned soley by France Telecom. (that's why they were resistant to the internet).

Now who will provide these new all-in-one internet terminals for the super French ISP?
