While I was waiting to have an internet connection installed in my new apartment, it become obvious to me how neglected the need for an internet connection is in France (I am not saying it is better elsewhere). In my opinion, it is a basic human need, like food and water. It should come with the apartment.

It is interesting to take a look at Google Trends. The charts seems to show greater interest for internet that for food and water

If we take a look at France, the chart is even more drastic, (maybe reflecting the actual availability of those goods – the more you need it, the more you search for it)

… while on the other side of the world (US):

Certainly something to think about.
