Telecoms is a national business. There isn't a European market. There's no Telecom Italia in France.

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.

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?'

Stephane Richard is far more attuned to the market than Didier Lombard.

Countries like France should not be naive. We don't have a French YouTube or Amazon or Netflix.

When you love competition, you don't want the market to consolidate.
