I like nationalising industries, but here in France, privatizing France Telecom made Internet and phone prices much lower.

Only because it is highly regulated. The FAIs have to allow everyone access to the network. Free wouldn't exist if it wasn't for that.

A part is thanks to free (the company) refusing to oligopole up the prices.
