Faced with bronce generated by the project operators to end unlimited Internet packages fixed, two questions remain suspens.Premièrement, who are these "netgoinfres" very heavy users of Internet operators that want coach? Opinions differ. "These are 5 to 10% of consumers who use 80% of the bandwidth. They are found in all countries. The population is fairly limited, "says Yves Le Mouël, Director General of the Federation of Telecom.

In Focus: the "geek" who downloads movies and massive music, spends time on YouTube and Dailymotion. "They are also SMEs with a standard Internet connection and download all day, they are hotels or student residences," said an executive at one operator.

David Charles, president and founder of MVNO Prixtel, but rather the fault of television over the Internet.Growing, it smoothly, he said, the networks. "If we want to free up bandwidth, it must be stopped. The TV is made to switch to TNT, especially since the state has paid dearly for the setting up in France. "

Edouard Barreiro, association UFC-Que Choisir, goes further. For him, "the netgoinfres, these are all of us." "During the day fixed networks are not busy. But they explode in the evening when everyone comes home from work, watch movies, videos, updates made its Apple … We all do the same thing at the same time, he says.Talking netgloutons is an excuse not to make the investments. "

Amend contracts

Operators deny it, but if they decided to go into action, could they change the current contracts? "Yes, it's Chatel law: an operator can easily change its offer, but the client is then free to go free, as was the case during the episode of the VAT," said Edouard Barreiro. Clearly, either the consumer accepts the new conditions, it is part.

But leave her Internet provider is not as easy as changing mobile operator. First, we must do without the Internet for about two weeks. Second, number portability works well on mobile remains fragile on the set. "Things are going well when you leave France Telecom to another operator.But when we leave SFR example, sometimes you lose his number, "said Edouard Barreiro. Finally, it must also return the box and be reimbursed for the possible bond. Not so simple!

Eurobonds are too expensive. It is seeking to demonstrate that the calculations of the German Ministry of Finance, taken by the weekly Der Spiegel on Sunday. This mechanism, which is to pool the debts of 17 countries in the euro area, regardless of their health, the first year would cost 2.5 billion euros of interest in addition to the budget of the German finance minister. This cost would be twice as high the second year to a total of 20 to 25 billion at the end of ten years.

On this basis, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has once again firmly rejected the introduction of this system, although many market professionals believe that this is the solution to the crisis of European sovereign debt. "The Eurobonds are quite the wrong response to the crisis of the moment.They would lead us to a union of debt and not a union of stability, "she says in an interview with ZDF.

His comments echo those made by the Minister of Economy Philip Rösler the newspaper Bild am Sonntag: "The Euro-bonds are a bad signal sent to national economies failed. Cover the risks of other countries with Eurobonds would immediately drive up interest rates in Germany. This would have dramatic effects on growth in our country, "said he.

Strengthening governance

Despite all these outputs, the German government did not draw a line under this system. The finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, has again said that the countries of the euro area could issue Eurobonds if échafaudent prior fiscal policy and fiscal policy.But this move towards integration is not fast enough, he said. "Most Member States are not quite ready to accept the necessary limitations on national sovereignty. But believe me, it's a problem we can solve, "said the Minister in an interview with Welt am Sonntag.

Wishing to lead by example, Wolfgang Schäuble has said for his part personally prepared to transfer sovereignty to Brussels. "As a person, I would be ready. The idea of ​​a European finance minister I have no problem.But as finance minister I say that it is our duty to solve problems here and now, and that as soon as possible based on existing contracts. "

Wolfgang Schäuble will meet his French counterpart Francois Baroin Tuesday to discuss the harmonization of corporate tax and the introduction of a tax on financial transactions. France is the country with Germany most strongly opposed to the Eurobonds.

Marc-Olivier Fogiel left mid-February morning of the orders of a Europe that was in September 2008. At 42, he will find at the back of the antenna M6 where he had led the program "everyone to stop you sleeping."

The FIGARO. -You will return to television with a project to M6. What will this new appointment in September?

Marc-Olivier Fogiel – It will be a weekly news magazine providing an update on current events that marked the week with those who make it. If I had to make a comparison, I would say it resembles the concept of the Sunday Journal, a daily newspaper published once a week and often the event. M6 has already emblematic of news magazines and reports of investigation, we want a news program, interviews with no frills and away from the talk-show atmosphere.It will be the opposite of an issue since zapping will be based on in-depth interviews. Thus there will be no more than three guests. They will live on the channel just as was the case for "7 of 7" or "The moment of truth." Moreover, this one-hour program on Sunday at noon.

On this market, competition from other channels is tough …

It is tough but not insurmountable. Of course, we have to create an appointment for a check and content that do not exist today on M6. But if there was no issue, it would not be worth the trouble to launch this new program.To me being able to meet weekly casting and the best to become the M6, like other chains, a place where those with expressed wish in the news.

When you leave the morning of a Europe in February, many gave you leaving for the public service?

He never discussed or near or far no faxing pay day loans. The only contacts I have had were with the news channels free DTT. To redo the TV, it was essential that it be consistent with what I have begun in recent years and therefore in the wake of the info. I admit that it was not easy to match a weekly basis with the passion of the "hard news". What was more, was returning to M6.When I left three years ago, there was a tacit agreement with this system, I've known for twenty years, talk with their leaders if I wanted to remake the TV.

On the occasion of this new project, you again become producer?

Not at all. When I came to Europe 1, I closed my news agencies and production Paf Paf Press and Prod. It seemed important to enroll in the drafting of the radio, as it is clear to me now to work with that of M6. For me the best way to participate in writing the History Channel and be somewhat in the same "juice" that the teams in place.

However, give yourself projects that you started with Matthew Pigasse?

Instead, we move forward. At that time, I become entrepreneur! But at this point we're still thinking.A reflection not only conducted but also Pigasse Matthew David Kessler, who directs Les Inrockuptibles. I stay in the same vein, that of the info. The idea is to propose a new offer but this time on digital. We would like to launch in 2012. If we had originally planned to create a newspaper on the shelves, now we want to expand our project to all digital. We're a team and especially to think about the business model.

Overtax businesses too generous with their leaders. The idea was launched by Prime Minister Francois Fillon in an interview published Saturday in Nice Matin: "With the government, I think about a device that is to overtax the companies issuing exorbitant fees."

The head of government is responding to the proposal of Xavier Bertrand, Minister of Labour and Employment, to "tax" or "frame" the "extravagant salaries." It lampooned in an interview published Thursday by Les Echos code of conduct drawn up on the subject of big salaries. "Write a code of conduct is good. The enforcement is better, "he said. Considering that some large companies did not comply with these principles, the Minister has threatened to legislate on the issue.

Shocked by some earnings

In Nice Matin, François Fillon rejects such an approach in trying to punish companies through a tax rather than the bosses through a ceiling unsurpassable. If it says "shocked" by some remuneration of senior executives, the Prime Minister "not [believe] not the regulation of wages for some totally disconnected from economic reality of the business and wage negotiations." However, he called the companies to regulate themselves. If they do not, the government will make decisions, he added.

François Fillon said in the same interview in Nice morning that there would be no boost given to the minimum wage at its next revaluation. "Today, it would be an economic mistake. This will overwrite the hierarchy of wages and would drive up labor costs and thus unemployment, "he justified.

François Fillon has argued that "before 2000, the labor cost of products manufactured in France was on average 15% cheaper than in Germany."However, "since the 35 hours, this advantage was lost in some sectors such as agriculture and services, we are overtaking Germany," he said.

According to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, the next automatic adjustment of minimum wage-price inflation when the achieved 2% since the previous revaluation, "could take place" in August.
