Firstly, thank everybody for comments on my papers.
Secondly, I read something from Marvin Sirbu:
Lehoux's ignorance of the Internet is exceeded only bymost Internaut'signorance of the Minitel.
I confess that my view of the Internet is may be limited.
I tried to analyse the possible evolution of those network.
The text is contreversial and is subject of a lot of discussion, but I think it is a good beginning for a deeper reflection on the future of Internet.
Let me know if you want a non contreversial history of the Minitel. I do believe that this text could help a number of people to understand that there are other networks around the world.
I will prepare a digest of all the answers and critics, and will put on the list to go further in the discussion.
