Definitely, yes. (From this side of the Atlantic, I didn't know that
MediaOne was also an internet provider).
What I was talking about is that Canal + provided (recently as I understand
it) the devices to control operation of the cable. Which ones exactly I
don't know, but if T. Lelegard is listening, he could tell.
Canal + technologies sells devices to operate cable and satellite
television, pay-per-view, and things like that.
