   • 1995 September, Richard Barbrook, Andy Cameron, “The Californian Ideology”, in Mute‎^[1], volume 1, number 3, →ISSN:

     The lesson of MINITEL is that hypermedia within Europe should be developed as a hybrid of state intervention, capitalist entrepreneurship and d.i.y. culture.

   • 2017 June 16, Julien Mailand, “Minitel, the Open Network Before the Internet”, in The Atlantic‎^[2]:

     Minitel was a computer terminal. It housed a screen, a keyboard, and a modem—but not a microprocessor. Instead of computing on its own, Minitel connected to remote services via uplink, like a 1960s mainframe or a modern Google Chromebook. Terminals were given out, for free, to every French telephone subscriber by the state (which also ran the phone company).
