Payment methods France Télécom charged Minitel users at rates of up to €1 a minute on their monthly telephone bill.
The rates depended on the service called; most services were far cheaper than this maximum.
In 1978 France Télécom, the country's PTT, began designing the Minitel network.
By distributing terminals that could access a nationwide electronic directory of telephone and address information, it hoped to increase use of the country's 23 million phone lines, and reduce the costs of printing printed phone books and employing directory assistance personnel.
In the late 1990s, Minitel connections were stable at 100 million a month plus 150 million online directory inquiries, in spite of growing Internet use.
Millions of terminals were lent for free to telephone subscribers, resulting in a high penetration rate among businesses and the public.
