A 1994 report by Théry advocates for significant state involvement in the development of France’s future information infrastructure. Journalist Yann Le Galès, writing in *Le Figaro* on October 25th, 1994, revisited the ongoing debate surrounding communication services and infrastructure. The report centers on what were then termed “information highways,” anticipating the modern internet age. Théry’s recommendations suggest a proactive role for the government in shaping these networks, rather than leaving development solely to the private sector. The discussion highlights early concerns about equitable access and national control over emerging communication technologies. Le Galès’ article frames this as a pivotal moment in determining the future of information dissemination within France. The report’s emphasis on state control sparked debate about the balance between public interest and private innovation.
