Andrew Shepp" Subject: Re: The trend of CRS in the 90s Minitels were distribured in France by the Government-owned PTT only as telephone directory replacements. One for each household, no more white pages. Well, usage grew and the Telco added private host sites (yellow pages) other than telephone directory, which are visited only by people who pay to view, and only in monochrome, block-art style (more like Teletext (consumer) or Viewdata (travel agent) in the UK than anything else, except maybe a US BBS system's ASCII "art".) Typical French product providers make more money on the split with the PTT for shopping than from markups or commissions on the actual product or service, I believe. Minitel users pay variable pricing (it appears on their phone bill) for their usage, each site sets its terms. There are amusing horror stories of sex-shopping gone mad, and multi-thousand-franc bills are often run up by obsessive users. These are often forgiven by France Telecom, although it must be embarrasing (is that a French concept?). Newer, less clunky and more reliable minitel terminals are being distributed slowly, the lowest-common-denominator aspects of supporting view/select features of the oldest models limits innovation. ** End of text from cdp:infotec.travel ** ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== ==== Response 10 of 12 ** Written 9:58 AM Apr 16, 1996 by mendicott in cdp:infotec.travel ** Date: Tue, 16 Apr 1996 09:29:56 +0100 From: Olivier Dombey | |
