This sounds like a real hagiography. Iliad's PR would'nt have done better. As often, there are downsides to his biograpphy. I'm not proficient enough in english to do it, but if someone could at least give a little enquiry on the subject. (Netking17 (talk) 20:59, 13 December 2010 (UTC))[reply]

I agree. It's blatant advertising. Hervegirod (talk) 22:42, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's much better now, but this article still need sourced. Despite the advertising, there was none before. Hervegirod (talk) 23:44, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good job! Much better. -- Econterms (talk) 23:30, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Minitel is shut down

Quote: "This service is still responsible for 1 million euros of revenue per year for Iliad.[4]". But Minitel was shut down mid 2012... --MichaelK-osm (talk) 21:47, 15 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did he "successfully created Minitel" ?

The Xavier_Niel#Career Section says that "he successfully created then sold his first company, a Minitel", but the Minitel page doesn't mention his name. Natematic (talk) 10:10, 7 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
