French Domination (was UKNM: line one)

[Laurence Grayson]

Just to add to the "French have a plan for international domination", you

might also consider that Vizzavi is part of a joint venture between Motorola

and Vivendi - now Vivendi/Universal - who own equally large chunks of the

telecoms/internet/television/software/media/music business.


The megaportal looms large on our horizon, and smells faintly of onions...
