Maybe the issues with net neutrality push people into history. Similarly there were Ethernet stories last week.
(If any are unfamiliar, Archer's subscription to Minitel is a running joke in the series)
As an older user, I'd love it if we could figure out a way to resurrect Minitel/Teletext and use it as a way of routing around the damage that is coming from the political classes.
The Minitel was the archetype of service centralization with a single hardware provider. Hardly a good case for Net neutrality.
Today, 35 years after with what we know, with a deregulated telco environment, with internet protocols and corresponding hardware, sure, the Minitel is not ideal for net neutrality. I think it was still a good step, and looking back, not a too shabby execution either. Now 35 years later, the market brought Android smartphone, which are the new commodity for people to go online.
