France has a specificity - the market players who provide Internet access are the telecom operators, and all of the players are French. They had a habit of, let's say, getting along with each other, and the prices traditionally were very high.

In life, you need a house and a car. After that, you have a choice.

If you are worried about the risk to your reputation, you don't launch a telecoms firm in an aggressive way.

The question for France and all countries is, 'Do you favour foreign Internet operators that do not pay, or do you favour national operators who pay?'
