89 France Télécom
Trading as Orange, France Télécom, is the former state telecommunications company in France, responsible for the upkeep of the national telephone and telecommunications network. Privatised in 1998 by Lionel Jospin's socialist government, it remains by far the largest fixed and mobile telecoms operator in France, and the largest ISP, with over 7 million broadband customers, well ahead of its biggest rival Free.fr (see below). FT is also one of the world's biggest telecoms corporations, operating phone services in over thirty countries, and is the leading Internet service provider in Europe.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.

90 Free.fr
The second biggest French Internet service provider after Orange (France Télécom), Free has been a pioneer in the world of Internet since its launch in 1999. It was one of the first ISPs to offer Internet dial-up access without the use of a premium rate number, and one of the first to offerADSL broadband. If not the cheapest, Free has persistently offered Internet packages at very competitive rates; in 2003 it was the first ISP to include free national telephone services by VoIP. Free international calls began in 2005, as did free television for subscribers with unbundled access. In 2008, about 3 million customers were using Free's broadband packages, representing a market share of slightly under 20%. Free is traded on the Paris stock exchange under the name of its parent company Iliad SA.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Free.fr

The IGN publishes popular series of maps of France, including road maps and specialist maps. The IGN also runs theGéoportail website, offering satellite imagery of France similar to that provided by Google Earth. -
94 Minitel
A first generation computerised videotext system, the Minitel briefly put France into the position of world leader in videotext access. Launched in 1982, the Minitel system rapidly entered the majority of French households and offices thanks to a masterly government policy of offering the basic terminals free to all telephone subscribers. Several years before the Internet explosion, the Minitel offered French telephone subscribers free access to a range of information services, including national telephone directories; it also offered a number of pay-per-view services, receipts from which were designed to help pay back the investment in the system. However, the success of the Minitel was also instrumental in slowing down France's uptake of the Internet. While the government remained keen to protect and promote this French technological success in the face of competition from a foreign system, many Minitel service providers also had a good reason to defend the system too. Provision of information via the Minitel, charged by the second, rapidly became seen as a lucrative activity (notably for the " Minitel rose" sites) - far more so than via Internet, where most general information is provided free of charge to the viewer. This economic disincentive meant that many major French providers of Information, such as the SNCF, were reluctant to replace, or even complement, slow but profit-making Minitel services by faster free Internet services - thus delaying French uptake of the Internet.Minitel services were completely phased out in 2011.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais.
