Funny thing is that today, despite the fact that everybody has a broadband connection, Minitel is still used by some people. Specifically for the 2 usages that made its success in the first place : yellow pages and adult chat.

A few companies still make significant profit from this platform in 2011. And it's still profitable for France Telecom as well.

Low tech works :)

Sadly, the service will be discontinued soon (june 2012). I don't use it but I find it cool to have an alternative network like this.

A number of very large logistics/hauling companies were still using it as a sort of extranet a couple of years ago.
