Is it the End of the Internet (in France) ?

Fr_

For the last week or so, the French net scene has been abuzz with rumours of an end to unlimited wireline internet offerings. Comparisons are made with Australia and US capping, and net denizens, analysts and activists are screaming blue murder as if it was the end of the world.

The story started when OWNI published a story based on a leaked draft version of a response to a consultation by ARCEP. The organisation planning to respond is the FFT, French Telecom Federation, an industry organisation that has - amongst others - Orange, Bouygues and SFR as members. The draft clearly shows a set of proposed segmented wireline internet offerings, some of which are capped.
