Hello,
It's only 2 providers filtering on many others. Downloading for personal use is not prohibed till you dont redistribute. Anyway with European law's it will come in all countries. But anyway your argument is right for internet connections. But with such nice pipes you easily can provide nice HD TV or other nice contents.
Cu,
Nico

Hi all.
For... $85(70 Euros) a month you also get free phone and TV. From the article (in French): "The historical operator opted for a GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) FTTH architecture (Fiber To The Home). This technology allows up to 2.5 Gbits/s download and 1.2 Gigabits/s upload.""
But then, isn't France the country where it is illegal to use encryption? No more SSH?
Besides that, in France it is illegal to distribute software that allows the transfer of pirated works. This might enclose programs such as "Azureus", "Firefox", "wget", "ftp"... (shall I go on?)
CU, Venty
P.S. About Azureus: Try downloading the DVD image of Kubuntu without using Bittorrent. Good luck.
